Tom's Games - Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 Review

Rob Wright writes:

"Red Alert 2 is considered by many gamers to be not only the best title in the hallowed Command & Conquer series but also one of the finest RTS games ever made, period. In fact, both the first two Red Alert titles are held near and dear by many loyal C&C fans. So it's easy enough to be cynical about Red Alert 3 and its chances to reach the high standard set by its predecessors. After all, it's been over eight years since Red Alert's 3 release; during that stretch Westwood Studios was closed down by its parent company Electronic Arts and the Command & Conquer series lost some of its luster.

Well, cynicism be damned - Red Alert 3 is a fine game. More importantly, it's a fun game. In fact, the game has provided some of the most fun I've ever had playing an RTS. True to its roots, Red Alert 3 delivers a rapid-fire succession of outrageous, over-the-top moments coupled with rich, complex RTS gameplay, thanks to the bold addition of a brand new faction as well as a host of fresh units. There's also a different twist to the franchise's old premise of an alternate history, where World War II is avoided when the Albert Einstein builds a time machine and kills Adolf Hitler before his rise to power. This changing of history, of course, gives rise to a new, more powerful Soviet Union during the 1950s."

Top 10 Worst Video Game Sequels

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "A while ago we counted down the very best video game sequels of all time and so we decided to flip the table and look at the very worst sequels ever made. 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.

Not that it was a bad game, just not a fair successor to DAO.

NapalmSanctuary2602d ago

Surely Twisted Metal 3&4 have earned a place on this list.

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.

Halo Wars 2 and 5 Strategy Games for Console That Also Weren't Rubbish

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."
