One of my most anticipated game was recently released(last October I think), Red Alert 3!!!
PLOT:
In 1946, at the Trinity site in New Mexico in the United States of America, Albert Einstein created a time machine and used it to travel back in time and remove Adolf Hitler from the space-time continuum. After his experimental "chronosphere" device is activated, he finds himself in Landsberg, Germany, in the year 1924, where he meets a young Adolf Hitler just after the latter's release from Landsberg Prison. Following a brief conversation between the two, Einstein shakes Hitler's hand, with this somehow eliminating the man's existence from time and returning Einstein to his point of origin. This prevented Nazi Germany from forming and averted World War II as we know it from taking place.
With the threat of Nazi Germany having been successfully removed from history, the Soviet Union began to grow increasingly powerful under the rule of Joseph Stalin. Had Adolf Hitler risen to power, Nazi Germany would have emerged as a force standing in the way of Stalin's own ambitions of conquest. Instead, left unchecked, the USSR seizes land from China and then begins invading Eastern Europe, in order to achieve Joseph Stalin's vision of a Soviet Union stretching across the entire Eurasian landmass. In response, the nations of Europe form into the Alliance, and start a grim and desperate guerrilla war against the invading Soviet army. Over the course of years there were many conflicts (Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, and Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge), some of which "never happened" due to tampering with the time stream, but with the Soviet Union ultimately on the losing side at the start of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.
Seeing the Premier of the Soviet Union's office empty, Lieutenant Cherdenko reveals to General Krukov a plan to travel back in time to 1927 with their own time machine and assassinate Einstein (because Einstein had invented a lot of high-tech weaponry for Allies, helping them defeat Soviet Union), in order to change history and restore the Soviet Union as a world power. They do so, with Dr. Zelinsky in tow, and arrive in the wings of an auditorium. As Einstein comes off stage from giving a speech, Cherdenko shakes his hand. The result of the action is presumably the same as what happened to Hitler: Einstein is erased from the timeline. The trio is then returned to the "present", where the Soviet Army has the Allied forces on the brink of defeat in Europe and Cherdenko is Premiere of the USSR. However, the chronological tampering has dire consequences: a strong, technology-based Empire of the Rising Sun, bent on world domination, invades the Soviet Union from the East. The invaders are unable to be immediately stopped with the USSR's formidable nuclear arsenal, as those weapons don't exist without the influence of Einstein. Thus, a three-way world war breaks out for total control of the globe.

Based on the trailers, images, clips, and gameplay videos I've seen, the first thing I've noticed was spectacular special effects…wait, no the first thing was Tanya’s blond hair(she looks stupid), ok the next thing was the effects. Explosions, flying debris, radiation… also they’ve added blood to the game, unlike the previous C&C titles.
Another thing was the different unit’s models. New units looks good, and old units received remodeling, like the attack dogs, conscript, etc. Other than the new looks of the units, they also added primary and secondary abilities for most, if not all, units. Attack Dogs, besides their instant infantry kill, can stun enemies with their bark. Tanya, other than killing and blowing things up, can teleport a short distance to escape from enemies.(wait…stun…blink..wtf?! are the developers playing DotA?!).
On the downside, the graphics look a little comical. Vibrant colors and unproportioned unit parts. But all in all, this is a game worth playing…
And I’m currently downloading it now XDD
The installer is roughly 1.99 GB.
