From Strategyinformer.com: "Gamescom is a long, hectic whirlwind filled with noise, musty smells and shattering exhaustion. It’s brilliant. Everybody should go. The days are filled with people, sounds, and brain-saturating media thrust in your direction from every angle, which makes it simultaneously the most exciting and frazzling event you could ever attend. It takes a lot to puncture through the late-afternoon mental haze after a day wandering those halls, but during our Act of Aggression presentation Eugen Systems’ Alexis Le Dressay manages that feat with four simple words: “Command & Conquer: Generals”.

Those looking for some old school RTS action would do well to pick up Act of Aggression.
Baden of WGB: "Despite the fact that I’ve never been very good at them, often outclassed in the competitive multiplayer side of things, my love affair with real-time strategy games has been a long one that began with what remains one of my favorite titles of all time, Total Annihilation. From there it was the Command & Conquer games, Dune, Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, the Homeworld games and many, many more. And then just a few years ago Eugen released the wonderful R.U.S.E., a horribly overlooked gem that proved you could bring a strategy game to console without having to simplify it to an insulting degree. Now Eugen are back with Act of Aggression, a follow-up of sorts to their previous Act of War and a self-confessed attempt to recapture the golden days of RTS with a very Command & Conquer: Generals feel."
DD:
Act of Aggression is one of those titles that will no doubt appeal to dedicated fans of real-time strategy (RTS). It is incredibly polished and does most things quite well. However, its lack of fresh ideas gives it an overwhelming impression of too-comfortable familiarity. The end result is a solid if uninspired game that is fun but also somewhat fleeting.
