Let's talk about how awesome these games are.
I stumbled upon clips of the first game on YouTube. I cannot for the life of me remember how. I watched a bunch of the briefings and such from several games before I eventually got Command & Conquer: The First Decade, Command & Conquer 3, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. So, pretty much every game in the series minus the 4th one because the 4th one story felt so meh.
So far in the series I played CnC, Red Alert, Tiberium Sun, Red Alert 2 (barely), Generals, Tiberium War, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. I messed up and got Kane's Wrath and RA3 on the Xbox 360 when I should have gotten them on the PC. Can't even get past the first level on Kane's Wrath because of the stupid controls -throws Hope out a window- (I'm making that a thing).
