If you’re a fan of strategy games and of the Command & Conquer franchise, this package is a “must have”.

User Rating: 8.4 | Command & Conquer: The First Decade PC
EA just released the ultimate package, for any Command & Conquer fan and strategy games fan alike. You’ll get all the C&C games released to date, ranging from the first Command & Conquer released in 1995 to the last Command & Conquer General Zero Hour, including all expansion packs, in a total of 12 games! The package also includes a special bonus DVD, with several interviews with the developers, behind the scenes stuff and a C&C The first decade Poster. With a price tag of around 30$ (Or exactly 30€ in Europe), you’ll get excellent value for your money.

On the technical end, the games remain on their original form and by that I mean there are no remakes. So don’t expect for over the top graphics and effects in C&C 1 since it was released 10 years ago. As for compatibility issues with Win XP, I haven’t found any, and all the games look really stable. Besides all this, you have the on-line multi-player modes. Even though I went to some trouble to configure it, mainly because you have to use your EA account to play, and I was trying to create a new account with Westwood broken servers. After you set it up correctly though, it works perfectly.

Overall this package, including all the extras, single and multi-player modes, will give you countless hours of fun and enjoyment. Just go out and get it!
