Did anyboby play Red Alert 2? Red Alert 3 is coming out later this year and I am stoked about it.

I lived for all those titles. Still fire up the CnC generals from time to time, gotta love the GLA and their slave labor, it's like a neverending supply of madtowns with middle eastern accents. They even complain the same way: 'My feet hurt, I'm hungry, Ok Ok I work, I could use some new shoes.' Between that and Yuri's slaves, ahh paradise.



Give your mind to me..

Awesome! I'm not a huge fan of the other command and conquer titles though. They screwed up when they made the graphics the priority over the gameplay. Generals was a huge dissapointment for me. Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge expansion is the best game I've ever played on a PC. Red Alert 3 is going to be more of the same goodness

I'll take whatever. CnC Tiberium Sun was the only blowjob of the bunch. I feel confident CC3 will be the shit.

I played the original CnC back in college - when having "real" video in a game was fucking cutting edge. I don't know why though. I have a very high level of disdain for these resource collecting/unit building/base attacking RTS games. They make me anxious even though nothing fun happens for hours. Herzog Zwei was the only RTS I could ever get behind. None of these fictitious cult governments. Just Red versus Blue.

Commie. You'll build and harvest and you'll like it.

Your 360 shouldn't be making noise.

red alert 2 is a huge jump from the game you played! This do nothing for hours you speak of doesn't exist in this game. Red Alert 2=game of the decade

I concur. You can blitz someone's ass pretty damn quick if you know what you are doing. I had friends that used to school me even though I though I was fast. They'd have tons of crap built in no time and massive squads just waiting to crush me. Hell, I'd hijack an opponent right off the bat in Yuri if the placement was right.

I guess I would assume viewing a RA3 trailer has already happened, but if not..

Looks pretty sweet. Old format with better graphics. WTF, some kind of twisted black hole action sucking your forces into nothingness at the end of the clip?

Here's one for the Diablo 3 crowd. 19+ minutes of gameplay demonstration, complete with narration from a chunky nerd (I assume).

Looks good, sounds even better. You even hear nerds in the audience creaming themselves in approval.

Metal Gear for the PS3 got a 10/10 from Gamespot, anyone get a crack at this game yet?

Makers of Oblivion set to release Fallout 3 in the fall..supposed to grant the same wide world of freedom that Oblivion did, and your trusty dog is back at your side. This is one game I am excited to see.

I'm wary of MGS. The games have always scored very high, and I've always been underwhelmed by them. They've always looked very nice, and in theory played well, but never held my interest the way the original on NES did. I'll wait until it's one of those lower priced classics before I try it.

Fallout 3 is the kind of game I'll keep in the system for a year though.

Disgaea 3 is my crown jewel for the season though. I can't get enough of those NIS strategy games.

Alright, this thread needs a bump with a helluva lot of great games coming out.

Fallout 3
Gears of War 2
LittleBigPlanet
Call of Duty: World at War

Going to be getting all of those. Fallout 3 drops on Tuesday and hopefully it lives up to expectations.

[BallHawk]

Also, what happened to twoseven? Hasn't posted since July.

FO2...saw a commercial today. If you pick it up at Circuit City, you get a game guide and a $10 gift card.

Little Big Planet drop shipped yesterday to most game boutiques. If you had a pre-order, its in early. The rest of the drop ships will be here late Monday, early Tuesday.

The Drum Rocker drums are set to be available for PS3 on Nov 27th.
