Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a real-time strategy game that was released for Windows on October 24, 2000, as the follow-up to Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Red Alert 2 picks up at the conclusion of the Allied campaign of the first game. Its expansion pack is Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge, released a year later, in 2001. Red Alert 2 was principally developed by Westwood Pacific in collaboration with Westwood Studios. Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 contains two playable factions, the Soviets and the Allies, which both previously appeared in Command & Conquer: Red Alert. The single-player campaign is structured in an alternate-ending mode as opposed to a progressive story mode. Like its predecessor, Red Alert 2 features a large amount of full-motion video cutscenes between missions and during gameplay, with an ensemble cast including Ray Wise, Udo Kier, Kari Wuhrer, and Barry Corbin.   For me, I found Red Alert 2 to be a definite improvement over the first g...

Command and Conquer: Red Alert is an RTS game developed by the once-great Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive. Set in an alternate timeline where Adolf Hitler is erased from history and the USSR takes control of most of the Eurasian landmass.

I can remember playing the expansion packs too many years ago and also found those to be fun and enjoyable. Yet I am also aware that this game has its flaws and issues, and while I really like it, I can't let those problems go. The first and most annoyi...

 ** Warning, this post covers adult topics **   Cobra Mission: Panic In Cobra City is an adult RPG game developed by INOS and published by Megatech Software. The player takes on the role of J.R., a private investigator, as he tries to find a friend of his former school friend and past flame. Who had gone missing without any warning and under suspicious circumstances not long before his arrival. Along the way, the player will meet various girls and be 'rewarded' for helping them solve their problems. Cobra Mission was one of the very first 'eroge' or erotic games to ever be translated and released to the English-speaking market. After reading some of the reviews that this game received around its time of release, I was led to believe that this game was an absolute shocker and for all the wrong reasons. Being a new genre for the 'gaijin' or 'foreigner' in English, this game was a trailblazer in its own way and opened the path for a completely new type of g...
