Command & Conquer-August 1995 GDI vs NOD Command and conquer is a war based strategy game that I first came across in 1995 and I was absolutely hooked on the whole model, game genre and aspect of the whole thing.

Command and Conquer is the first in a long line of C&C strategy games. You fight in real time as either Brotherhood of Nod or GDI (Global Defensive Initiative). The basic premise of the game is to build up your base and troops by harvesting tiberium from the locality and then take on enemy forces. In my opinion, C & C provides a great introduction to the series and is simple to both play and understand. However, like all 'God' type games it has it's drawbacks. Depending on your computer spec the gameplay can be quite slow which does effect the overall experience as real time doesn't really feel like real time. Graphically by today's standards it ...  Read the complete review
