My friend Sam convinced me to purchase Red Alert 3, going on about how fun it was. Having read reviews that weren’t that favourable I had my doubts. Anyway in a fit of boredom I decided to purchase it from GAME at the reasonable price of £19.99 for the deluxe version, hardly as exciting as my friend Alex’s quest to get the game.

I’ve played quite a few games online with my friends now and have to say Sam was right, it is fun. It’s far from perfect, but it seems far more focused on not taking itself to seriously and I like that. An all round excellent game.

Now if only the sods will buy Team Fortress 2 on my recommendation, the world would be a better place
