Free game alert: EA's giving away Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
The question of “What’s the best Command & Conquer” is about as controversial as “Nvidia or AMD” or “Do you let the toilet paper hang over or under” (Over—Ed.) so don’t expect to get a straight answer. Still, a vast amount of people would name Red Alert 2’s alt-history Soviet/USA conflict as their favorite of the long-running RTS series—and lead designer Dustin Browder went on to lead StarCraft II.
Also, you can make dolphins part of your navy. It’s a pretty great game.
Unfortunately it’s so great that people are actually taking advantage of the On-the-House program for once. EA just posted this message:
Once someone at EA finds a fire extinguisher, you’ll be able to go here and pick up Red Alert 2. The last two On-the-House deals have lasted for seventy days each, so you have plenty of time. As always, the one catch is that you’ll need an Origin account to take advantage.
