I round up some games to trade-in, Need for Speed: Carbon (Wii), Beatmania (PS2), and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (Xbox) to be exact, and I went to my local Gamestop! It's amazing when you're handed a game that you've been waiting for since 1999! After opening it and reading the manual on the drive home to get psyched up, I installed it and go everything working.

First thing I do when I get a game working is try it online. I selected Automatch and was waiting to get connected, a couple of moments later, I get an error saying that it cannot connect to another player and I should open some ports and disable my firewall blah blah blah, usual stuff. Well, I exited, and realized this computer has been on a DMZ and every single port was open, and no firewall even installed besides the Windows XP one, but that was disabled, always been disabled. I figured it was just my computer, and rebooted.

I launch C&C3, and sit there in darkness for about two minutes until it finally loads up, and I try online again. Still no luck. I figured it was me, so I just tried to play single player missions for now. I was praying that the out of sync problem wouldn't transfer over from the demo to retail. Boy was I disappointed. Super horrible out of sync, worse than the demo occurred. So I stopped playing Campaign. Yes, I could of skipped the videos, but I have to have my videos. It's a C&C tradition!

I was fed up with it, and hit the EA Technical Forums. There was countless topics of “HELP ME! PLZ! ZOMG!”, literally. So, I couldn't play two sections of the game, a little disappointed but still excited I try out the Scrin during a Skirmish. The Scrin is nothing what I thought they would be. I thought they were gonna be “Money Makers”! The only Tiberium upgrade they have is the Growth Accelerator. Other than that, they're pretty cool, They feel like a very weak GLA from Generals, but hold the super power awards like China towards the end of a match. I'm still dieing to play the Campaign, but will have to wait. I've actually been able to sneak a couple of online matches here and there, won some, lost some. Overall, I give this game a 8.5 out of 10.

Command and Conquer 3 is Golden

Hello CNC3 friends and family,

I am pleased to announce that Command and Conquer 3 has gone gold. No not the kind of gold that Mr. T wears but you get the idea. It is rumored by the way that Mr. T himself was hoping for a part in CNC3. Anyway This means that the final version of the game is decided, the game balance between all the units is set, the art is final, the cut scenes are final, thats it! Now what can you do? You can wait, ponder the meaning of your life, tell your Mom that you are thankful she created you so you could play CNC3, etc etc. Oh yea and pre-order the game so you can get goodies not available otherwise.
