Command & Conquer - The First Decade
By: Paul Burckard




If I asked you what are the top ten games ever created, what would your answer be? Go ahead and think about it for a few seconds. Have your list ready? Good!

Do the words Command & Conquer fall in that list any number of times? CHances are, if you were born in the last twenty years or so I would bet money they do!

Westwood has once again done us proud by releasing, not a new game, but the entire Command and Conquer series on a single DVD! Command and Conquer; The First Decade brings you combat from the early nineties all the way through 2005. The game that defined an entire genre of simulation has spanned the years and improved every step of the way. The original brought you cloaking tanks, C&C 2 had mind control, C&C Generals brought Chinese tactics and the empires vast war machine to the front lines of our attention. This one collection has collectively wasted millennia of man-hours from time clocks around the planet. Several of these games single handedly brought Silicon Valley to a halt for over 24 hours. Collectively they've consumed hundreds of thousands of hours of our free time as we gleefully send hundreds of tanks at each other just to see what happens. Ever wanted to see what would happen to a fleet of ships when a dozen nuclear bombs go off? Play, and find out.

If you like small unit combat games, if you like strategy games, if you like first-person shooters, if you're an RTS fan, if you like games at all, this package is for you. $30 for 12 games, 12 of the highest rated games in existence; is a steal! And it's available everywhere games are sold. Go buy it, go buy it NOW, before Westwood decides to raise the price!

Dont forget to pick up a copy of C&C 3 on March 27th at noobiegames.com!
