On the one hand, I have a take-home exam, presentation and assignment due within the next 2 weeks or so. I have started on none of them.

On the other, I have Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

This is going to be an interesting 2 weeks.

I’m part-way through the GDI campaign, and it almost feels like the old C&C games. That is to say, the acting is so bad it’s good, the action is over-the-top, and you have a lot of fun blowing things to pieces. Did I mention it’s really, really pretty?

Oh, and I got to try out the new faction, the alien Scrin, in skirmish. All I can say is, you should never, ever let a Scrin player tech up. You get not one, not two, but three badass units, all of which can completely ruin a GDI or NOD player. A few carriers, a few annihilator tripods and one giant mothership is all you need.

On the other hand, if you’re playing NOD you should rush, rush, rush! Recon bikes and scorpion tanks are devastating to the GDI player who is gearing up for vehicles or aircraft.

Gonna try multiplayer tomorrow. Hope I don’t get my arse kicked by Korean RTS nuts.
