"On this episode, Pat gives his views on Bulletstorm and discusses PSN's Pixeljunk Shooter 2 and the Crysis 2 PC demo with Andy, who also evaluates Killzone 3's multiplayer. David goes on a PC gaming binge which includes Civilization 5 and Just Cause 2 and later slanders the faultless Culdcept Saga. Nick returns to Mass Effect 2 and Enslaved, and we all talk about various Command & Conquer entries.
There's a heap of gaming news out of GDC including multiple game announcements and technology..."
"If ever a gaming genre has become a lightning rod for brow-knotting aphorisms, it’s real-time strategy. Conventional wisdom dictates that RTS has failed to crack the console market in this or any other generation, despite repeated attempts from talented teams, and its native PC home has been relentlessly attacked by pirates in recent years. It’s a two-pronged assault to which even the biggest names in games have apparently no answer, say the worriers."
"Though Command & Conquer Red Alert 3's Uprising expansion landed on PCs months ago, it seems a port of at least some of the expansion's content is heading to consoles this fall. The "Commander's Challenge" DLC is set to run you $10 and offers "50 intense challenges against a set of nine different commanders, including 16-time world champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair." Sound familiar? That's because the ESRB let slip the first news of the DLC a little over a month ago.
EA's official confirmati..."
Quite a release week, for PC gamers especially. First we get (finally) Dark Sector, initially planned for simultaneous release, then The Last Remnant, Battleforge..life's pretty good. Although we can't recommend you pick up Dark Sector as it contains that horrid Starforce DRM.
There isn't really much exclusive stuff (not a bad thing, really), with PS3, Xbox 360 and PC owners alike receiving Stormrise, Wanted, and Wheelman, with the latter two seeing Legends of Wrestlemania.

"We scoured the internet to try and find a good number of beautiful women that play video games. The task was difficult as could be expected. In our findings we found a combination of women that have been in video game movies or voiced video game characters in games. We also found some that use games for fitness or training. Some even enjoy games with their kids.
In a handful of cases we actually struck gold. Some of these women play games fanatically and know as much about the games t..."
A list of 7 of the most Bizarre video game characters that somehow manage to remain awesome. Ranging from such video games as Wolfenstein 3D to Age of Mythology all the way up to Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3.
"The better-late-than-never PS3 version of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has been pinned for a March release.
As revealed when EA accidentally leaked details on its store site, the so-titled Ultimate Edition for PS3 will include platform-exclusive bonus content. EA has handily provided a list of exactly what you can expect:
* Five exciting new multiplayer maps
* Behind the scenes videos and trailers, including Raising the Iron Curtain
* Documentary, From Pens to Pixels, th..."
EA has brought out news of a standalone expansion to Red Alert 3 called Uprising. It will continue the story from Red Alert 3 as well as introduce a new gameplay mode. In case you are unfamiliar with the game, RA3 posits that the Soviet Premiere had a time machine with which to travel back to change our present. The result is a modern-day nightmare with the Soviets, US, and Empire of the Sun all vying for dominance. The expansion will release in March.
Well now this is good news. EA recently announced that they will be releasing their games on Steam. Well, now it has been revealed that the DRM protection of SecuROM that EA uses on some of their popular titles will be dropped for users that purchase the games on Steam.

Back in June, EA announced that the Playstation 3 version of their upcoming title "Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3" was put on indefinite hold. In other words, they had cancelled that version. Later in September, it was still under indefinite hold. However, EA's David Silverman offers up a glimmer of hope for PS3 owners not willing to buy another console or PC for the game.
David announces that Red Alert for Playstation 3 is now back in development, and, he promises, will include extra co...
So, what do you do if your Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 install code is 19 characters instead of 20?
Well according to the brilliant minds over at EA- they suggest you brute force your own game.
Yes, that's right. They want you to try to 'guess' the activation code by using every character ranging from A-Z and 0 -9.
Bravo EA, Bravo.
"Your forum account will be directly tied to your Master EA Account, so if we ban you on the forums, you would be banned from the game as well since the login process is the same. And you'd actually be banned from your other EA games as well since its all tied to your account. So if you have SPORE and Red Alert 3 and you get yourself banned on our forums or in-game, well, your SPORE account would be banned to. It's all one in the same, so I strongly reccommend people play nice and act mature.

"Electronic Arts Command & Conquer series has not had an easy go of things with regards to its console releases. Not from where were sitting anyway. Real-time strategy games generally fare poorly when saddled with gamepad controls, but our experiences with the console releases of Tiberium Wars and Kanes Wrath both were decidedly underwhelming, largely due to what else? control issues. Well, after a brief demo and a hands-on runthrough of a mission albeit at a crowded preview event ..."
"Here you are then, EA's released a bunch of big pictures - which we're suggesting you use as desktop wallpaper - of the entire female cast of Red Alert 3.
Now, this is starting to border on Nuts material, so we're going to stick purely to the facts.
The game's cheese-filled cut-scenes feture Gemma Atkinson (Hollyoaks), Kelly Hu (Scorpion King), Ivana Milicevic (Casino Royale), Jenny McCarthy (Playboy), Autumn Reeser (The OC) and Gina Carano (American Gladiators).
We're off to see Atk..."
Today on the Xbox Live Marketplace three things have been released.
Mass Effect Theme - It is a theme from Mass Effect, and it will cost 150 Microsoft points.
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 Trailer - This is a trailer for Red Alert 3, and is free. It takes up 55.25 MB of space.
Frontlines: Fuel of War in Game Content - You can buy 4 new maps for 800 Microsoft points. It will take up 744.45 MB of space.
Earlier today, EA and 1C Company agreed upon a deal, which will allow 1C to spread EA titles across Russia and "Commonwealth of Independent States nations".
Since 1C has gained a very positive reputation over the years about how they ship out games, it led EA to believe that they were the best way to go.
"Back in June, EA announced that the PS3 version of Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 was being put on hold to move available resources to the development of the Xbox 360 and PC versions. According to EA Los Angeles producer Amer Ajami, the PS3 was tough to develop for, and at the time, the game engine they were developing on wasn't designed with PlayStation in mind.
So now, two months later, we decided to contact EA for an update on the current status of the PS3 version. What we got back wa..."
In this Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 trailer, Jenny McCarthy, a former Playmate, talks about Tanya, the character she is playing in the game. She says that there is a warrior inside of her and from the trailer, it looks like that poor man (or lucky) is getting a dose of it.
Look out for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 on the PC, PS3, and 360 October 28th.
Given the recent backlash against the DRM and SecuROM in Spore, you would think that EA might change their tactics? Nope- they are standing strongly by it, though they have lightened up and are allowing 5 installs before you have to contact their wonderful customer support for Red Alert 3.
EA decided to be generous, and give away the original Red Alert for free. All you have it just click the download link, and it goes straight onto your computer, no troubles or anything. You can also get Red Alert 2 if you pre-order Red Alert 3 from certain stores.

Ok, so the PS3 won't be receiving the long-awaited sequel to Red Alert. But those of us who will still be buying it can rejoice: The community summit has shed a bit more light on the game! All of the regular CnC experts showed up, and screenshots are now available at CnCgames and other websites. Unfortunately, most of those who went were not allowed to share much info, but every little bit counts!
GameInformer, a monthly magazine about games, had the chance to go to EA's Pre-E3 event and check out tons of games, which include Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, Madden NFL 09, and Left4Dead. Check out what GI said about all of these games by hitting the link!

Yet another blow for Sony who have previously announced two much-awaited games being canned. I previously asked What ever happened to Red Alert for the PS3, and unfortunately, it seems we have the answer now - it too has been 'canned'. With there being no official reason behind the cancellation, we can only hope that it's only being delayed like Bioshock... however chances for that are slim...
It seems that the Playstation 3 version of Red Alert 3 is currently in limbo, since a recent 'video walkthrough' of Red Alert 3 by EA mention Red Alert 3 coming to the XBOX360 and PC version, however a mention of a PS3 version was nowhere to be found.
A video walkthrough of a Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 by the developers which explains many new additions and new features in the series. The naval combat seems to have been enhanced, along with some of the land and air combat.
Red Alert is back and looking better than ever. IGN had the first hands on of the game and when they got to some of the ground units, it seems they were taking a bit of a more 'unhinged' approach than the older games. Red Alert was never the most realistic game, what with Echo Emitter Dolphins and Commandos that could take down bases with a single desert eagle. This time however, the craziness is being kicked up a notch to include, yes, you heard me.. Parachuting bears! Oh and lets not forget...
"
This war is anything but cold, Comrade General."
I am glad that this new round of screenshots is so much better than what we have seen before. The original images released were of a really poor quality. These rock - the detail on the dirigible hulls is incredible. There are five to view in all.
