Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 vs Homeworld
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.
Homeworld
Homeworld is the remastered collection of a timeless classic which contains all remastered versions of the game as well as the classic versions. In some way, Homeworld plays out like EVE Online... if it's a an RTS game, that is. In this game, you'll get to build an armada of up to 100 spaceships of all types, shapes and sizes (that are unlocked through reseach), and battle enemies be it AIs or other players alike. The tactical and strategic depth provided in this game is simply incredible, allowing you to control every aspect of your fleet from its formation to flight tactics for individual battalions.This game also include a multiplayer mode which lets up to 8 players battle it out on any of teh game's 23 maps. Of course, you can choose any of the races in either Homeworld or Homeworld 2.
Honestly, we can't recommend Homeworld enough! This game is a classic through and through, and if you enjoy games of its genre, you simply must check this game out.
