Sony’s in the news again, but not in a positive way. Meanwhile, a classic game may be remastered and bitcoin fraud continues to be a problem.

This week we’re hammering through some top news articles while tackling some community comments and hitting the history hard!
Question of the week, have you seen any video game tattoo’s that have been less dork and more actual awesome? Do you have any?
It is the 13th anniversary of the Command & Conquer Series, Red Alert, and Electronic Arts is giving away the original C&C: Red Alert as a download for free. Holy crap, how neat is that?
This is also a great marketing technique, Red Alert 3 arrives soon, so this will help you keep it fresh in your head prior to the new release. Maybe this also gives new gamers the ability to experience the old title before heading into the third revision.
“Download both the Allies and Soviets discs (each disc contained the single-player campaign for its respective faction), but the files are actual ISO images of the CDs themselves. That means that in order to play them, you’ll either need to burn the ISO images onto a blank disc, or use a Virtual CD program to load them.” (1up)
The free Red Alert game download will run on XP/98/Me/95 but no official Vista support. Now, you’ve got a chance to play Red Alert… what about Red Alert 2? If you pre-order Red Alert 3 you’ll get the second in the series for free as well- genius!
There is really no reason not to take advantage of this awesome deal if you’ve never played a Red Alert game and want to see how the foundation of early RTS style games started. Although this isn’t the first C&C in the game franchise it launched a few new advancements on the original C&C title so you’re really getting an RTS based on learning experiences from the first, at no price.
Heck, maybe we’ll download it again just because we can! Excellent.
This week, the guys discuss Madden NFL 24 being a buggy mess, the Xbox 360 Store closure in 2024, Ubisoft still trying to make Skull & Bones work, and Starfield going gold.
