IGN writes: "As a single player experience, the commander's challenges are a good way to test your skills, pitting you against a variety of enemies and plunging you into battles with limited resources to see just how good a strategy player you are. Taking what is arguably the most compelling segment of the Uprising pack and releasing it on its own, players will have hours of play ahead of them as they work on and refine their strategy to dominate the three factions of the Red Alert Universe. However, they'll also have to deal with a less than perfect control scheme, a lack of unit information and visual issues to enjoy these strategy brainteasers".
Bibber has released a new update for its Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 mod Upheaval, now available for download.
More than 250 downloadable games were released for consoles in 2009. Some became deserved hits, racking up huge sales figures and becoming pervasive in gaming circles, but with so many titles, it's inevitable that a few gems would fall through the cracks.
Ryan Langley, editor of console download-focused Gamasutra sister site GamerBytes, has rounded up five Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network games that should have found their audience, but for whatever reason -- be it confused release schedules, price point bungling, or lack of gamer awareness -- have languished in relative obscurity.
You can and should tackle the missions in cooperative mode though as the coop design philosophy stays in the spotlight in Commander's Challenge just like it did in Red Alert 3. For a scant $10 Commander's Challenge is a great value, but be prepared for the game to beat you up and take your lunch money for a while.
