    This is strategy gaming at its finest

    Another hit from Westwood, developed in 1996, after Albert Einstein, tried to prevent World War II, inadvertently made an alternate timeline with the Soviet Union, thus making my favourite game of all time. The interface... Read Full Review

    The Arsenal is a great collection, that paves the way for other great collections.

    A bit of a letdown...

    When I realised there are giant ants in a military RTS, I knew the developers were desperate. They knew they couldn't make a perfect game any better and they were exasperated! Then, in the midst of collapsing in their bo... Read Full Review

    Although this expansion is short - playing it is a lot of fun.

    I played this expansion in The First Decade and I think its a little bit underrated. Westwood wasn't treated it very good, but still RA is a great game and new missions are even more interesting than RA original campaign... Read Full Review
