Command and Conquer is in a strange limbo right now. Earlier this year, the entire RTS series was repackaged for a new release on Steam. Very recently, the forgotten MMO-inflected spinoff Tiberium Alliances also appeared on Valve’s store. But with Westwood gone and EA’s intentions unclear, it’s not certain where the future of C&C lies. And so, we look to the past. Total Annihilation, Age of Empires, and Homeworld are renowned as classics of the genre. Today, we have Company of Heroes, Total War, and Stormgate. But the greatest RTS games of all time are still the first Command and Conquer, also known as Tiberian Dawn, and its pseudo sequel Red Alert. Relaunched as the superlative Command and Conquer Remastered Collection, you can now get them both for just $3.
