The third installment of Electronic Arts’ Command & Conquer real-time strategy game series is now available for the Xbox 360. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars takes the franchise back to its beginnings in the Tiberium universe and finds the the self-replicating green alien goo has infected the planet Earth. An alliance of nations plans to defend the planet, but the Command & Conquer villain Kane has some other ideas.

“The team is truly excited to see the response form the recent demo release and can’t wait for gamers to get their hands on the entire Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars game,” said Mike Glosecki, Senior Producer at EA, in a release. “Whether you are a Command & Conquer fan, an avid RTS or Xbox 360 gamer, or someone who enjoys a great Sci-Fi universe with a deep story, you will enjoy the fast-action gameplay and watching the epic story in the game unfold.”

Tiberium Wars is highlightled with high-definition live action video sequences featuring actors whose faces will be familiar to science fiction and genre fans, including Tricia Helfer and Grace Park from the current Battlestar Galactica series, Lost’s Josh Holloway, House’s Jennifer Morrison, Billy Dee Williams (featured in two of the original Star Wars films), and veteran Michael Ironside (who has glowered and rumbled his way through everything from Top Gun and ER to the Warner Bros. Batman and Justice League series to…well, there was that Heavy Metal sequel). Several real-life news reporters also have cameos.

The Xbox 360 edition offers both single player and multiplayer modes which let players challenge each other via Xbox Live. The game is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB, and has a suggested retail price of $59.99. A version for Windows PCs is priced at $49.99.

3 things I want in Fallout 5 after watching Amazon’s Fallout series

Lucy enters a house in Fallout.

Fallout has been the watercooler TV show this month, an impressive feat for a video game adaptation. Although Bethesda doesn't have any new Fallout games to release alongside it, the Amazon Prime series has reinvigorated interest in Fallout, with all its titles seeing notable player count increases. For now, we’ll have to be content with a Fallout 4 current-gen upgrade, but I’ll admit that my mind is drifting to thinking about Fallout 5.

Bethesda’s Todd Howard has teased that Fallout 5 will be the next project Bethesda Game Studios works on after Elder Scrolls 6. While that likely means its release is at least a decade away unless Bethesda fast-tracks it, I still find it fun to theorize about where a true single-player Fallout 5 could go next. These three particular things are what I want to see the most.

I was wrong about cloud gaming. One small setup change showed me the light

The Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld sits on a stack of comics.

I never had much faith in cloud gaming.

The reality of current internet infrastructure and reliability just felt -- and in many ways still feels -- too far off for streaming to provide a close enough experience to the "real" thing for gamers to accept. I even gave it my best shot to change my mind one year ago this week by committing to only playing games via cloud for an entire week. What I found was that, in my situation, there were only select games where the input delay was tolerable enough to consider it as a primary way to play. It's a great option for those who can't get expensive hardware, but it wouldn't find an audience among the hardcore gamers who have better alternatives.
