Command & Conquer vs Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer (The Ultimate Collection version) compiles all the classic Command & Conquer titles (17 games in total including all expansion packs) you've known and loved into a single collection, allowing you the chance to relive each of the campaign stories and enjoy some good old LAN gameplay (The multiplayer mode has unfortunately been closed until further notice). Build a base, assemble an army and head forth to engage the enemy be it the Brotherhood of Nod or the Global Liberation Army, or turn everything around and play as these very factions. The collection even includes the single first-person shooter game, Command & Conquer: Renegade.So, if you're longing for the nostalgia of playing any of the old-school Command & Conquer titles way into the night, then this is the game collection you'll want to own. For the price of around $25, you can get 17 of the most iconic real-time strategy games in the franchise - it is pretty much worth it.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is the latest installment of the real-time strategy game franchise, Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Despite the apparently intriguing storyline of a time travel gone awry and the brilliant live-action HD videos, the science fiction-themed narrative is somewhat weak in comparison to the previous titles. However, it's nice that this time around, you get to choose between one of three factions (Allies, Soviets, and the Empire of the Rising Sun, or the Empire for short) to play as rather than having only two. The campaigns are pretty fun as well and the game does have a rather nice co-command feature that links all the campaign missions together.Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has a really nice take on the alternative world theme and the strategic gameplay is incredible as usual. If you're interested, you can try the game's demo before buying it on Steam.
