C&C 1 was released about a year ago, and it earned fame as a great RTS game for its excellent gameplay, options, an so on. About a year later, the series continued with a bigger bang: C&C RA.

This game is a departure from the original game (But many fans speculate it has connections with the Tiberium Series thanks to Kane appearing in the live motion videos) and it focuses on the concept of an alternative timeline (WW2 anyone?) when Soviets replace the Germans as the menance. The story is quite long, so play the game to find out.

I just love the gameplay. The music gives any hardcore RTS player an adrenaline rush while they demolish the opponent with massed tanks. There are two playstyles: sheer numbers and brute force (Soviets) or Tactical planning and micromangement (Allies.) This option allows any player to quickly pick and love a style, depending if they are stone-hearted generals or micromangement specialists.

Get this game. This game was the forerunner for RTS games, and it is excellent way to see how the early C&C games were like. Even though its impossible to find this game anywhere now, you can still get it in C&C: The First Decade.

Red Alert, we salute you, even though you've been dead for so long.
