Command & Conquer

This is one of the best gaming universes of all time. I really liked Kane- he added a lot of grit to this universe that I haven't seen in many video games with live action sequences. Worth a stroll down memory lane and play.

Command and Conquer-1 was a massive game when it released and thats an understatement. How many games of the time had full length cinematics to explain the story? From its kickass opening sequence to the adrenalin rush of its gameplay, Command and Conquer will be remembered as the best strategy game of all time. Although many levels could be completed with sheer brute force, it was still very difficult and forced the player to actually evolve some innovative tactics of his own. The player was also suitably rewarded for completing each of the hard levels, with the cinematics. With two sides to play, the game is very long but never boring at any single point. C&C and C&C Red Alert represent major turning points in gaming history.

This video game pioneered the real time strategy genre and brings you into a fantasy sci fi world where the world is overrun by a substance called tiberium. This valuable but toxic substance is the essence of the game and makes for a very stimulating narrative. In the midst of this mysterious compound overtaking the world is the war between the terrorist group - the brotherhood of Nod led by the enigmatic Kane and the "good guys" - the Global Defence Initiative (GDI).

The game is propelled by an awesome soundtrack and engaging live action cutscenes. The acting is phenomenal and draws you into the story. A must-watch/play.

this has got to be one of the greatest computer games ever created...the game that sets the standard for every other strategy game. not only does this game include hours of exciting gameplay, it also includes fantastic cut-scenes as well as an intricate story plot. every gamer should own this game. if you like strategy games, this is the game for you.

This has hands-down got to be one of the best cutscene-based game ever. One of the pioneers even! At least in the RTS space. I have fond memories of watching Joe Kucan as Kane terrorize the GDI. It's a great story and one that hopefully one day will get its own films!

Of course the quality of the video was limited by the times- only so much data could be stored on CDs back then. But do play this game or watch the cutscenes on YouTube, you won't be disappointed. The music is like techno-military-funk, it's very unique and well-done by Frank Klepacki. Hopefully EA Games will also revive the franchise for us. 8/10.
