Sega's newest RTS game, Universe at War: Earth Assault, will be the first non-Microsoft-published game to take advantage of Games for Windows Live for online play, including PC vs. 360 multiplayer once the 360 version launches next year.
To celebrate this milestone, Microsoft and Sega announced a "Play and Win" sweepstakes.
Players who register their copy of Universe at War and play an online multiplayer match on Games for Windows live between December 14 and December 16, 2007 will have their gamertags automatically entered into a bunch of drawings.
Aside from the "grand prize" drawing at the end of the event, a new prize is up for grabs every hour, and you get a new entry for each hour you play an online multiplayer match during the sweepstakes period.
