Cha-Ching! With that solitary catchphrase, RTS gamers immediately get fond flashbacks to the 90s. The Red Alert games revolutionised the RTS genre back then, and the series continued to be solid up until Tiberium Wars in 2007.

But when the simply-titled Command & Conquer (otherwise known as Command & Conquer: Generals 2) was announced in 2012, it promised to bring back the things that made the series great in the first place - reinstating base-building and unlimited populations, and offering bigger-than-ever armies to manage.
