At first I was sceptical about how well one of the best strategy games ever made would make the transition to 3d graphics to harness the graphical powers available of cards like the Ti4600 and the Radeon 9700. With the failure of Renegade still lingering in the back of most fans mind I dont think I was alone in feeling like this, however the team over at Westwood Studios have done us all proud. I unwrapped my copy of Generals fast than the Andrex puppy unravels his beloved roll of toilet paper, and thrust the cd eagerly into the drive. Although the game does consume a hefty 1.55gb of disk space before you download all those buggy but loveable maps that you ...  Read the complete review

Half-life meets C&C. If this had been developed three years ago, it would have sold millions. It wasn’t. This, however, doesn’t stop Renegade from being a fantastic game, which is both addictive and playable.

To start your base your are usually given an MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) which is a truck which you can move about and deploy it at a suitable ...  Read the complete review

The command and conquer series is probably most famous for it's P.C versions but this doesn't mean the consoles owners should feel left out. The N64 conversion has mostly all of the features of the origional left intact, the levels are progressivly challenging and fun to do. The control stick really suits this style of game and means you can navigate the map with ease. The graphics are smooth and much better than the playstation version, the only problem being when you try to play in the high-res mode (needs expansion pack) the game becomes jerky with the computer finding it hard to process everything. The sound effects are o.k but, as with most games, the ...  Read the complete review
