The Tiberian Dawn Redux mod for Generals: Zero Hour was updated to version 1.44 recently, and with that release, all campaign missions are finally present in the mod, after 10 years of development. Much attention was given to making the maps and missions as close to their 1995 originals as possible. Also included are balance…

In this week’s Music Monday, we feature one of the most melancholic tracks in the series – Dusk Hour from Tiberian Sun. This track was composed by both Frank Klepacki and his mentee at the time, Jarrid Mendelson, and clearly emphasises the sorry state the Earth was in by the time of the Second Tiberium…

In another new article, I've decided to publicly vent about quite a few misinformed and outright stupid comments I've encountered in the C&C community over the past few years on almost all sites and chat rooms I've been to. Sadly, most of these things are frequently repeated over and over. The statements I've made there…

Today’s Throwback Thursday feature ventures a bit outside the C&C series, but is still linked to it. The Sims 2 introduced a selection of games that the Sims could play on their computers, all of them, naturally, being EA-published titles like SimCity 4: Rush Hour, SSX 3, and others. This list was expanded in the…

Red Alert Mobile is an almost undocumented title in the Command & Conquer series. One variant was released for then-standard phones in Java format, and another, better known, for the iPhone and iPad. Both were released in 2009 by EA Mobile Romania, and take place between Yuri’s Revenge and Red Alert 3, hence the technologies…

This week’s pick for Music Monday is Alien Arrival (also referred to in an obscure promo soundtrack release as Time To Take Out The Trash) from C&C 3: Tiberium Wars. A fitting track which was used during the introduction of the Scrin, with an inhibited start and a pounding finish. A new track will be…

Several things have been going on in the C&C community in the past few days, so we’ll go through them briefly: The Red Alter mod team have started working after a long hiatus, and have released the source models of what they’ve created so far. Kane’s Wrath Reloaded (a Tiberium Wars mod despite the name)…

This week’s pick for Music Monday is the Yuri’s Revenge track Defend the Base. Another slower composition, it was positioned as a late game track, and to me personally it brings memories of all those prolonged matches. A new track will be posted next Monday. And as always, don’t forget to share this on social…

31 August is celebrated as the anniversary of the release of the original Command & Conquer from 1995. Today’s Throwback Thursday feature goes back to the original game’s Nod ending, where Nod Netrunners transfer their consciousness to virtual orbs within cyberspace in an attempt to hack the GDI ion cannon uplink, but should these orbs…

  This week’s pick for Music Monday is Running Through Pipes from C&C Red Alert: The Aftermath. Like many tracks from the expansions for the original Red Alert, this track was apparently made to create a specific mood rather than follow a hectic battle. A new track will be posted next Monday. And as always,…
