I've been looking forward to this one. Mouse/Keyboard superiority aside I loved the PS1 C&C games and had no problems with using a controller. I strayed from the series when Generals came out so I'm a bit out of the loop.

WOW! I have never heard anything good about the PS1 C&C. I am looking forward to this. I will still get it for the PC though.

The PS1 Red Alert had a easy pick up and play vibe about it. Sort of like the Age of Empires for the DS. If you wanted a hardcore game that may last hours, play the PC version. Half hour slaughter before bed, PS1.  :D

Hey Tan, if you like RTS games did you pick up LOTR: BFMEII for the 360? It actually flows quite well.

I am pretty sure there is a Demo for download. Or at least there was.

Not yet but I probably will soon. I've heard it controls quite well on the 360's pad. I wouldn't be surprised if C&C spawns a 360 Mouse at some point or an update to use a usb mouse like the keyboard has already.

Looks like I'll be waiting a week or so anyways. Silver members don't get access to allot of the goodies until after a week or two after the Gold members do.  :P

Downloaded the demo yesterday and played through basic training and the first mission. The controls were pretty solid, but will take some getting used to.

I picked of LOTR: BFMEII today so I'll have plenty of practice by the time C&C come out.  :)

The C&C demo is pretty cool. You have "basic training" where you learn the controls. 2 "story" missions, and then you can also play people on the demo server. I'll probably give the head to head match up a shot after a few more tries on the mission.

Read  this  (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6169450.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;3)

LOL, it did take me about an hour to download. (of course I went out shopping, so it was ok)

So start it and leave it. I am not sure how long mine took. I started it then went out to lunch.
