''I'll assume that you're familiar with the RTS genre, and somewhat familiar with Red Alert and the Command and Conquer series. Red Alert 3 is the latest in the ongoing saga between the Russians and Allies. However this time around there is also a new party in the mix, a Japanese faction called the Rising Sun. I was half expecting anime and tentacle nookie but it appears the new faction is pretty much a mech and tech bunch. As this beta is multiplayer only, there isn't a lot of background on the Japanese faction or how they will fit into the story, other than that they are likely to be unlockable after playing the Russian and Allied campaign.
In terms of gameplay, regulars of the Red Alert series and its sibling series C&C won't find that much has changed. Typical RTS fans will find nothing that hasn't been done before, either, whether by other developers' games, or within these franchises themselves. There are a few minor gameplay tweaks, such as the addition of water structures and amphibious units, and changes to the way tech advances for some factions. That's about the extent of it though. You build a base, build some units, run out of money, then power, then money, then the other player somehow has twelve tanks at your doorstep. It's definitely fun, but perhaps I have been spoiled by Supreme Commander, Empire Earth II and Rise of Nations. By comparison to these games the Tech advancement and number of units in Red Alert 3 seems rather small.''
ABG's newest bad-lad of the internet, Oliver Southern, has compiled a list of some of gaming's best(?) celebrity cameos. Look out for; Michael Jackson in SEGA's Space Channel 5, The Hoff in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and...Justin Bieber playing basketball?

Now we’re not specifically looking at bad sequels to bad games, that would be boring, instead we’re looking at sequels that took what was present in a good game and completely wrecked it. These 10 games started out by building up our hype to extreme levels only to shatter our dreams and break out hearts once we got our hands on them and so we’re calling these out as the worst sequels ever made."

Dragon age 2 was not a bad game, just a terrible sequel if that makes any sense. Should have been it's own IP.
I loved Dragon Age II. I even got the platinum trophy for it. That was the very first medieval themed fantasy RPG that I enjoyed aside from an Ultima game I played in the early 90's at a cousins house.
Lord of Shadows 2 was one that left me scratching my head because I loved the first one! Red Faction Armageddon was another one that I still wonder why they didn't just give us something more like Guerrilla.
OX writes: "Halo Wars 2 is a Halo game in which instead of controlling one big space soldier, you control lots of little space soldiers from high above the battlefield. It's a real-time strategy game, yes. But aren't strategy games on consoles always terrible? Not always, as we discover in Show of the Week."
