"TransGaming on Thursday began accepting pre-orders for its Macintosh conversion of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 from Electronic Arts. It's coming in late March, 2009 and will cost $29.95.
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 is a recently-released installment of EA's long-running real-time strategy game series. It came out for Windows in late October, 2008."
RTS; it's a beloved genre...but it's in dire need of originality or it risks being consigned to a small pool of fans.
In my opinion, they have evolved and become more complicated. Way back in the day with command and conquer games, they were easier to pick up and play. I’ll actually go further back to a $70 Super Nintendo game called “Metal Marines”. Not sure if I’m off the mark, but these cellphone, real time strategy games become overwhelming quickly to me. There’s too much going on at once and it turns me off. Not sure if there are any on consoles to be honest. If there is a RTS that is on PS4, I’m open to the recommendation
Metal marines... what a game, and Herzog Zwei too.
Ensemble Studios and Westwood closing spelt absolute disaster for RTS games, with exception of blizzard, no one made any real good ones. Microsoft and EA ruined two top franchises before closing the studio. such a shame
Over complicated. Dawn of War 1 was almost the perfect rts, its all been downhill since.
Our favorite freeware delights.
More than 20 years later, it remains Frank Klepacki’s best work...but just HOW good is it?
Thats great but I am pretty much finished with Mac gaming(lol does it even exist?)
I had good times with Halo:CE and WoW on Mac
I think I'll check out Diablo 3 on Mac but that might not happen
they need to make a video game based on the swedish military.
