Command & Conquer 3 expanding with Kane's Wrath
The campaign will follow Kane's rise back to power after the second Tiberium War, played partially through a "Global Domination" meta-game, described as "Risk on steroids." New units, upgrades and powers for each of the factions are also included. The expansion will launch simultaneously on Xbox 360 and PC, but console owners will also be receiving a new radial interface in the expansion (as seen above). Those are the highlights, but feel free to click through to the Battlecast if you'd like to watch a C&C 3 match with the most excruciating play-by-play ever recorded.
[Thanks, Burbank]

Awesome. I dno't know why they didn't think of that dial method sooner. It can be a pain to use the D-pad when trying to select what to buy on the really long menu's on the 360 version.

Perhaps the global domination mode is similar to old C&C's map of the world?

THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL - a couple of years ago, a fellow named Mark Skaggs made a similar announcement via the Generals' community newsletter - REJOICE COMMUNITY! RED ALERT 3 IS COMING! - he disappeared for a few months ('left' EALA - isn't an active staff member anymore) and Red Alert 3, as you may know it, never came out.
Even though it sounds official, it's not official until Electronic Arts issues a press release.
Foxhound: I'm going to assume they either got the idea from the Skate team or one of them played... Fight Night (from EA, still - well, I think that's the game that made use of the analog stick(s)) to perform attack moves (no moar button mashing).

Just praying this will eventually come to the PS3 in a full package with the original game... here's hoping

As for the quality of Battlecast Primetime TV, I thought it was a througly enjoyable and very entertaining show. They even explain at the start that it is orientated towards towards hardcore C&C fans like me- the sort that enjoy the cheesy cutscenes in the first place. I'd say it was brilliant.

you're an idiot. this sucks. did you see how teeny tiny that Apoc fool looks? get back in the factory and make me another gobstopper, Oompa! and the silverman host guy? world's biggest douchebag. you can tell he molests collies.

You're right, I am an idiot.
I knew my insistence on using correct spelling and capital letters would give away my stupidity one day.

It's not about your spelling or your grammatical prowess. It's about your idiotic comment. The production value was shit. They read too fast, they don't sit level, the script was shit, the poor engineer guys looked as though they'd been forced to be there...it's ass. Thus, you're an idiot. Hell, you're probably Silverman..or Apoc, the big-nosed Jewish oompa loompa.

aimed at hardcore fans? lol. they removed all the strategt out out the actual gameplay at the end. Real Time Strategy without the strategy...

Yeah - wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a joke, or...
I thought the guy who plays Kane was pretty cool and wish that section was larger, but the play by play needs to shut up.

Seriously, this is asshole. Totally asshole. I bet they're all virgins.

Looks like the Silverman guy has his own website. No mention of collies though

That is AWESOME! It solidifies his place in the annals of douche-dom. Fuck, it makes him the Queen of Doucheland! Click the link! See "...the alliance fleet on Orion IV taking off to intercept the alien invaders." HAHA! He has also met famous people! oooh! The best?
Come check out what transformed the college student, David Silverman, into the party animal known only as The SHAKE.
