GameSpy writes: "The Red Alert universe is not exactly what you'd call a "serious" place. It's practically a comedy version of a classic "alternate universe" scenario in which a time-travel experiment gone horribly awry has altered 20th Century history rather dramatically. When Albert Einstein travels back in time to kill Adolf Hitler, the lack of a Nazi Germany resulted in the Allies and the Soviets becoming the principle antagonists of World War II. An Allied victory results in many years of a "Cold War" that goes hot in the 1990s when a mind-controlled Soviet Premiere launches an assault on the United States led by bomb-dropping zeppelins and giant squid.
In Red Alert 3, the Soviet Union is on the verge of defeat and tries a last time-travel experiment to eliminate Einstein himself from the timeline. The result is a new history with the USSR resurgent against a weakened Alliance. New history means new and even more bizarre units as Russia's fighting bears and giant tanks face off against the Alliance's military-trained dolphins and time-traveling commandos. There's also a new opponent for Russia to deal with, Japan's Empire of the Rising Sun with its transforming robots and deadly psychic schoolgirls."
Spiffy:
+Three different and fun-to-play sides
+Lots of visual comedy; solid strategic model
+Yuriko
Iffy:
-Allies not as visually interesting as Russia or Japan
-Empire a bit micro-intensive
-Allied APC may be overpowered
ABG's newest bad-lad of the internet, Oliver Southern, has compiled a list of some of gaming's best(?) celebrity cameos. Look out for; Michael Jackson in SEGA's Space Channel 5, The Hoff in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and...Justin Bieber playing basketball?

Now we’re not specifically looking at bad sequels to bad games, that would be boring, instead we’re looking at sequels that took what was present in a good game and completely wrecked it. These 10 games started out by building up our hype to extreme levels only to shatter our dreams and break out hearts once we got our hands on them and so we’re calling these out as the worst sequels ever made."

Dragon age 2 was not a bad game, just a terrible sequel if that makes any sense. Should have been it's own IP.
I loved Dragon Age II. I even got the platinum trophy for it. That was the very first medieval themed fantasy RPG that I enjoyed aside from an Ultima game I played in the early 90's at a cousins house.
Lord of Shadows 2 was one that left me scratching my head because I loved the first one! Red Faction Armageddon was another one that I still wonder why they didn't just give us something more like Guerrilla.
OX writes: "Halo Wars 2 is a Halo game in which instead of controlling one big space soldier, you control lots of little space soldiers from high above the battlefield. It's a real-time strategy game, yes. But aren't strategy games on consoles always terrible? Not always, as we discover in Show of the Week."
