You can and should tackle the missions in cooperative mode though as the coop design philosophy stays in the spotlight in Commander's Challenge just like it did in Red Alert 3. For a scant $10 Commander's Challenge is a great value, but be prepared for the game to beat you up and take your lunch money for a while.
Bibber has released a new update for its Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 mod Upheaval, now available for download.
More than 250 downloadable games were released for consoles in 2009. Some became deserved hits, racking up huge sales figures and becoming pervasive in gaming circles, but with so many titles, it's inevitable that a few gems would fall through the cracks.
Ryan Langley, editor of console download-focused Gamasutra sister site GamerBytes, has rounded up five Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network games that should have found their audience, but for whatever reason -- be it confused release schedules, price point bungling, or lack of gamer awareness -- have languished in relative obscurity.
Game Revolution writes: "The Command and Conquer universe is a mess. On one side, we got the whole Tiberium struggle in the main Command and Conquer series, meanwhile in Red Alert, which began as a simple spin-off spoof of the Cold War, things have gotten crazier with each iteration. Killing Hitler before World War II was not enough for the Allies nor the Soviets, as Einstein, poor Einstein, got the axe in the most recent game, changing the world power structure so far as to include a third super power, the Empire of the Rising Sun. Commander's Challenge takes the Red Alert 3 Uprising expansion pack, recently released for the PC version, and strips most of the convoluted story, keeping the aptly named Commander's Challenge mode which includes fifty different and increasingly difficult scenarios."
