PC Gamer - This week’s “Why” video acknowledges that not everyone was playing RTS games in 1996, and that even those who were may not realize how much fun they’d be having if they took a quick time-trip back to Command & Conquer: Red Alert. The game isn’t just a highlight of the series (and no one’s discounting the original or the Tiberium series), it’s a highlight of the RTS genre, and it holds up so well 17 years later that it’s just as fun as modern RTSes. That’s my argument—see and hear it in the video above.
A Command & Conquer: Red Alert remake is being developed by fans, with the game now available as a mod for C&C Generals: Zero Hour.
I wish someone would bring back Command & Conquer back - done the way the first dew games were. Red Alert was the best C & C game and even now, it still is fun to play after all these years.
GameSpew lists some of the best video game prequels for those of us that crave more than what the original stories gave us.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "It's the start of a new year and I'm using that as a flimsy excuse to talk about some of my favourite opening themes in video games. One of the most important sections in any video game is often the first few minutes, be it the opening cutscene or the first few minutes of actual gameplay. Whatever the game presents the players with the moment they press play is often crucial in hooking them in, and in many cases a huge part of that is the accompanying music that plays during those first few moments."
When it comes to Uematsu, how can you pick the bombastic Liberi Fatali over the haunting Terra's Theme?
