Steam has some great deals of RTS fans out there: all Command & Conquer games are 75% off this weekend, meaning you can get Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars for $7.50, Command & Conquer 4: Tiberium Wars for $5 and Red Alert 3 for just $5 bucks. We’d love to see some of the older C&C titles like Red Alert and Red Alert 2 on Steam — as far as we know they’re free to download, so why not just add them to Steam?
Command & Conquer pretty much revolutionized the RTS genre, although lately the series have been on a decline. But we sure recommend Red Alert 3 for $5.
EA has just let us know that Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Commander’s Challenge will be made available for purchase over Xbox Live and the Playstation Network sometime this week for 800 Microsoft Points or $10 respectively.
This game is basically a standalone expansion for C&C Red Alert 3 but with a bit of twists and turns incorporated into it. Don’t understand? Watch the above video and I’m sure you’ll see things a lot clearer.
Best Buy is holding a large video game sale for most consoles like the Xbox 360, Playstation and Wii today. Prices have all been marked down to $9.99, a far cry from their original prices which started at $60.
Over 100 games are on sale, but if you don’t want to wade through the whole list, here’s a few recommendations. Xbox 360 owners could do a lot worse than C&C: Red Alert 3, Condemned 2, and Devil May Cry 4. On PS3, Pure, Guitar Hero 3, and Soul Calibur 4 are good choices. On the Wii, the selection’s not quite so good, but Samba de Amigo’s a great choice if you like off-beat rhythm games.
Just like the famed sales made by Circuit City some months back, you better get to Best Buy quick if you want to get hold of those games for a steal!

There will also be new live-action cutscenes, with actresses Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic returning to reprise their roles.
“We’re giving gamers more of what they want – more of the fast, fluid and fun gameplay, more of the story we began to tell in Red Alert 3 and more cutscenes featuring top-notch Hollywood talent, said EA LA senior producer Amer Ajami. At the same time, we’re excited we’re going to be able to bring new things to the mix, including new units and the Commander’s Challenge, which is a great way for players to hone their skills and get deeper into the combat.”
