Download Red Alert for FREE!!

Posted by: Lawrence Wong

For those who aren't aware Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, already available in the U.S, is being released in the UK today. This time around the Soviets travel back in time to screw with history and results in Japan becoming a third super power. The Empire of the Rising Sun brings transforming tanks, ninjas and giant robots to the battlefield. We expect the Soviet Tesla coils to make a reappearance. The hammy cutscenes are back, this time with a star studded cast including Tim Curry, Jonathan Pryce, George Takei and ex-Playboy model Jenny McCarthy in the role of Tanya, oh yeah. It all sounds rather sweet.

What's more, to celebrate 13 years of the franchise EA have offered the original Red Alert for free download. Follow this link to the official site: http://www.ea.com/redalert/news-detail.jsp?id=62

Don't forget to install the XP / Vista patch and run it in compatibility mode. Red Alert still works a treat on newer Windows.. we've tested it.. lots.
