After reviving the Command & Conquer franchise last year with Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, EA's LA-based branch looks to fuse the strategic elements of that series with first-person combat action in Tiberium. During an event last week in San Francisco, GameSpy got a chance to check out exactly what EA has been quietly brewing for nearly three years, and it looks like the Tiberium team is doing more than pushing pretty visuals. It's still quite a ways off, but so far, so good.

From Strategyinformer.com: "Return of the Dawn is a TS 2 C&C1 (Tiberian Dawn) total conversion, aiming to combine the fun gameplay of the original with the more advanced features and graphical capabilities of the Tiberian Sun engine.

"Continued lack of management execution and/or product quality damages new management's credibility and dampens our excitement for the Company's shares," Hickey said in a Tuesday research note."
