Command & Conquer 3 Tiberum Wars

Given one word to describe Command & Conquer 3, our list of potentials would not include ‘Amazing’, ‘Revolutionary’ or even ‘Carrots’. Perhaps if we were to become slightly drunk, or swig a pint of nutmeg suspended in water, the chances of these words being added to our list would improve dramatically.

Not wanting to rock the boat or even give the gunwales a slight push, EA Los Angeles has stuck with the venerable formula that has unearthed success time and again. Admittedly the game does feature a new, third side – the Scrin – but even it is uncomfortably derivative. read more
