Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, developed by EA Los Angeles and published by Electronic Arts, is the third installment in the beloved Red Alert series—a real-time strategy (RTS) game that's part military tactics, part over-the-top sci-fi spectacle. Released on October 28, 2008, for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, it flips World War II history on its head: What if Einstein time-traveled and erased Hitler from existence? Cue a three-way war between the Allies, the Soviet Union, and a rising Empire of the Rising Sun (think Japan with mechs and samurai tech). The game is packed with live-action cutscenes, co-op campaigns, and naval battles that keep you glued to your screen. It sold over 5 million copies and earned a 79% on Metacritic, praised for its bombastic fun and star-studded cast (hello, Tim Curry as Premier Cherdenko!).
