Loading ...Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, The Scrin are here!
In my opinion the Command and Conquer Series have been the best P.C games ever made. The combination of excellent story telling (cut scenes) mixed with explosive real time play wins the day for me. I’ll never forget the video in command and Conquer where Kane shoots the Brotherhood of Nod commander in the head for being a traitor…..what a way to introduce the bad guy!!!!
Red alert introduced a few new factions but kept true to the Command and Conquer style of excellent level design and amazing plot twists!
Then came Command and Conquer: Generals…..nice in my opinion but did not cut the mustard. The Matrix style “zoom in an slow mo” when vehicles were destroyed reeked of show off the game engine….forget about the game play!!!! No video cut scenes…..what were you thinking!
So on to the next serving…..Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Now I must say that this game seems to me like Command & Conquer: Tiberium Sun with the bells and whistles attached. Tiberium Sun was set in the a futuristic settling…sometime after the first Tiberium war. The developers tell us how ever that this game is set much later, in 2047 or something….meaning a few new units. I’m surprised the popular Mammoth tank has survived in service with GDI for 50+ years!!!!! (Obviously to appease the fans!)
So its 2047 and NOD (The Brotherhood of NOD…or Al Quida) and GDI (Global Defence Initiative….or the Americans) are at it again….fighting for control of the Tiberium fields and untapped endless energy! Alas the party gets crashed by: “The Scrin!!!!”. It seems the developers have decided to spice things up a bit and introduce an alien race.
Now I can see where this is going….and I hope it does not go there. An unholy NOD and GDI alliance to defeat the evil Scrin….and Kane and the GDI commander can hold hands singing “Come by a me lord” with flowers in their hair when they defeat the Scrin!!!!! Lets hope not!
More interestedly we are promised a whole new race and a host of new units for NOD and GDI. The engine looks super: click here
Heres hoping it a good one!

supreme commander is pretty awesome , the scale is just insane to be honest , and looks like you need another screen for use of the mini map. anyway i must do a proper review for ya about it. its looking really amazing in terms of scale and graphics are great too. anyway, the only problem so far is the patches and some crashing issues.
