    All the storylines were so creatively done it’s a wonder that Westwood or EA has not jumped on the bandwagon and gone Hollywood.

    There simply isn't a better compilation of Command & Conquer material. You could buy each game individually and set up the appropriate hacks to make them work, but you can bet that EA won't be patching those - this compilation is where your future support lies...hopefully.

    C&C: The First Decade will have all C&C aficionados waxing nostalgic for the good old days of GDI versus Nod, Kane and Yuri, and of course, Tanya, the sexiest female gaming character next to Lady Croft.

    The occasional crashes in the older ones are a little annoying, but they’re still quite playable, and with all their expansions you could easily spend months playing against the AI alone.

    The older games, while classics, are woefully dated. And the more recent titles, themselves more than two years old, don't justify the hefty price. [Apr 2006, p.95]

    A lot of what made Command & Conquer great comes through in this package, but a few rough edges make it all seem a little sloppy.

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 »
