Just finished playing the C&C 3 360 demo that popped up on Xbox Live over the weekend. Which was a first for me, since I'd only ever played two RTS games on a console. One was Starcraft on the N64. The other was Age of Kings on the PS2. So yeah, as you can see, coming in my expectations, they weren't high.

I kinda dug it though. The control scheme is hardly ideal (especially since I kept just trying to hit "A" like it was the left mouse button), but it gets the job done, especially if you're smarter and/or less conditioned to PC RTS games than I am. And I'm over the moon to see the hammy cutscenes are still super-hammy, especially since they now feature Michael Ironside in all his HD glory, wrinkles, craggles and all. Luke Plunkett
