This is an instance where the headline should specify "Free DLC." Many people in the comments are bitching about how this should be free... when it IS free (except for the MP stuff, which is trivial).
I'm usually not a fan of April Fool's Jokes that are super obvious, I feel like that defeats the point... however, this one is so well done and so gradually gets preposterous, that I rank it as a win.
As badly as EA has screwed up this franchise again and again, there is a part of me that (every time) hopes they get it right.
C&C (the original) was the game that got me in to games. In my mind, the original C&C and the original Red Alert still stand as the best C&C games (with Generals being a close third).
Please EA (and whoever is developing this), remember what made this series something special.
@Onihikage This makes me sad. Zen Pinball is ok, but often silly and their physics are incredibly odd sometimes. I would love a realistic pinball sim from Insomniac!
