    Hopefully any future release will benefit from vigorous testing before release, a privilege that hasn't seemed to have been granted to this collection.

    It shows its age, and some titles are better then others, but all the cinemas are intact and some games never get boring.

    You're better off tracking down a copy of "Red Alert 2" on its own. [Sept 2006, p.101]

    In their time, many of these could be considered great titles, but there’s nothing new here. There’s old here. There’s some very old here. Some very, very old here. If they had done something, included another Generals expansion packlet just to give me the inkling that perhaps they had put some work into this collection rather than just stuffed it into a box, I might be more favorable towards it. But they didn’t.

    I lean back in my chair and, in a moment of grim lucidity I realise: all of these games are already in a cardboard box in the shed.

    With some more care and ambition, Command & Conquer: The First Decade could have been the single greatest compilation of all time, a must-have for vets and newbies alike. Instead, it's actually only appealing to fans of a few of the titles that are still playable, and it's just a buggy nostalgia trip for everyone else.

I just wish Westwood had stayed with EA for longer, as I felt the games lacked that intense fast pace play, that was experienced in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. That said, the game are still 10/10.… Full Review »

What else do I have to say. Renagade is a fun fps (although a bit slow). The original is laggy but fun to play of you have free time.
    Red alert is fast and fun although quite Chaotic but is an amazing strategy game classic. Use a whole arsenal of V2s, attack choppers and NUCLEAR SUBMARINES. Generals has different factions with All sorts of tanks and hey If you want destruction just put an impossible ai on your team and normals on the enemys. Overall a great package that you should pick up if you spot it in a shop.    … Full Review »
