Welcome back, Commander! Command & Conquer 4 allows C&C fans to finally experience the epic conclusion to one of gaming’s most beloved and longest-running series, the 15-year Tiberium saga. Kane. GDI. Nod. Tiberium. How will it end? Find out in Command & Conquer 4, told through gritty live-action cinematics, persistent player progression, and a multitude of innovations to the classic fast and fluid Command & Conquer gameplay. In the year 2062, humanity found itself on the brink of extinction. Tiberium, the mysterious, alien crystalline structure that infested Earth for decades and caused years of relentless conflict between the Global Defence Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod, was close to rendering the planet uninhabitable. In the midst of this crisis, Kane, Nod’s prophetic leader, emerged from seclusion to deliver GDI the message that he had developed a system that could control Tiberium and harness its power. But he could not build this “Tiberium Control Network” without GDI’s cooperation. Thus, the two opposing factions—GDI and Nod—found themselves in a desperate and unlikely alliance to stop Tiberium from extinguishing mankind. Now, after 15 years, the network is nearly complete. Tiberium is under strict control and our revitalized planet is on the cusp of a new age of prosperity and progress. It is only now that the world’s citizens begin to seriously ponder why Kane chose to help, and what he will want in return.

With every new game the Total War series has been getting bigger and better, until now it's ready to take on the whole world. For the first time you can build an entire global empire, with up to fifty factions available, from the British and French to American revolutionaries. Like the previous Total War titles the gameplay is split into two main parts, with overall strategy, diplomacy and resource management taking place on a turn-based world map. Actual battles are controlled directly by you though. The strategy elements are more engrossing than ever, but it's the battles that really steal the show, with incredible graphics that may be the most detailed ever seen. For the first time you can control naval combat hands-on, while rifles and artillery play a much more central role than ever before. If you thought strategy games were boring and slow, this is the game to change your mind.
