Announced last month, the first trailer for the Command & Conquer 3 expansion Kane's Wrath has hit the intertubes. The expansion will include new radial menus along with new units, upgrades, and abilities for the various factions in the game. It also includes a brand new game type called "Global Domination" that has been described as a variation on Risk. If the trailer is anything to go by, the expansion will also feature plenty of cut scenes with our favorite villain, Kane. Remember though, the expansion isn't out until next year, so you'd better find some other way to satisfy your cravings for bald villains in the meantime.

The first episode of C&C TV Battlecast Primetime is now online. While we haven't gathered the strength required to actually watch the episode, Joystiq has gone to the trouble of extracting the bits most important to us. Namely, an expansion for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Command & Conquer 3 is on the way. Entitled Kane's Wrath, the expansion deals with the villain's ascent back to power after the second Tiberium War. The expansion is played through what's called "Global Domination," which plays out something like a game of Risk. The expansion also includes new units, upgrades, and powers for each faction in the game. Brand new to the Xbox 360 version are radial menus, which will presumably make building and upgrading with a controller a little easier. Don't get too excited though, the expansion isn't due until 2008.

You may recall an announcement two weeks ago that Command & Conquer 3 would be "revolutionized" this month. Well, EA has officially unveiled this revolutionary idea, which they are calling C&C TV Battlecast Primetime. So, what the hell is it? From the looks of it in the video above, Battlecast Primetime is essentially SportsCenter for C&C fans. The program will be shown on the official C&C3 website starting August 14th at 12:01AM PST. The teaser video promises dev interviews, and action from C&C3 matches. We're not sure if we'd call it revolutionary, but it is a neat idea. It will be interesting to see what effect it has on the C&C3 community.

Our buddies over at Gamertag Radio received an interesting email today. It's contents can be summarized in the image above. Yes, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars will be revolutionized on August 7. What the hell does that mean? We have no earthly idea (and no unearthly idea for that matter). Gamertag Radio is stumped, too. All we do know is that whatever it is, you can uncover more info on August 7 at the official C&C3 website. We do, however, have some concrete details on the upcoming patch for C&C3. The patch is set to fix three major exploits in the game and should be available "soon." Alright, so maybe it's not concrete per se, but it's better than nothing, right?

Perhaps you find yourself in the unenviable position of wanting the new Command & Conquer 3 maps but not knowing if they're worth the money. Lucky for you, EA has released a free video on Xbox Live Marketplace detailing all of the new maps. The video is narrated by one of C&C3's developers, who gives you the scoop on each map, noting where the tiberium is and where most of the action will take place. Each map gets a fairly thorough overview, so the video should serve as a decent way to gauge whether or not the maps are worth 500 MS points.

Have you downloaded the maps yet? What do you think?

In celebration of their upcoming 100th episode, Gamertag Radio is giving away 5 copies of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Command & Conquer 3 is already a decent RTS game, and we imagine it's even better when it's free. For your chance to win, head over to Gamertag Radio and read the rules for entry (hint: it's super easy). While you're at it, you might as well enter into their mystery giveaway as well. What are they giving away? How the hell should we know? It's a mystery, silly!

Still on the fence about picking up Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars? Maybe some cheesy into-the-camera monologues will change your mind. The NOD characters trailer is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace, featuring everyone's favorite fanatical warlord, Kane. You'll also get a brief look at the other main characters in the NOD campaign, including other aggressively named characters like Kilian Qatar. On the other hand, if evil doesn't do it for you, maybe you'd rather check out the GDI (read: "the good guys") campaign intro. You can find it after the break.

Typically, spring doesn't give gamers much reason to rejoice. This spring, however, seems to be just a little bit different. Last week we received Spider-Man 3*, and we've been getting new Xbox Live Arcade titles in spades (Catan FTW!). This week, we look inside the Xbox 360 horn of plenty and find tiberium encrusted copies of Command & Conquer 3. By the way, if you care to look, you'll also see a slimy copy of Shrek the 3rd tucked away in there as well. Unfortunately, that's all we've got this week, but Command & Conquer 3 is nothing to sneeze at. In fact, we've already enjoyed the demo quite a bit.

So, who's planning on rolling some Mammoth tanks over their unsuspecting foes this week?

IGN recently posted some fresh hands-on impressions of the Xbox 360 version of Command & Conquer 3. We dissected the demo ourselves not long ago, but IGN gives out fresh details concerning the campaign mode. In particular, IGN notes that the computer AI becomes very difficult in later levels. Part of the reason for this is that computers don't have to contend with C&C3's complex control scheme. In other words, AI can manage, build, and direct units much more efficiently than a human. Adding insult to injury, the game lacks a simple restart option for campaign missions. So, if you find yourself without hope of victory, the only way to restart is to exit the game entirely and reload your most recent save. As IGN notes, it's not a deal breaker, but it can become tedious after multiple losses.

Thankfully, multiplayer removes many of these issues, as human opponents must overcome the same control scheme. In the end, IGN walked away impressed with Command & Conquer 3. So far, they've enjoyed the campaign -- difficult though it may be -- and the numerous online options (including more game types than the PC version). Hit the "read" link for IGN's full impressions.

Command & Conquer 3 finally arrives next week. Will it live up to its promise? We'll have to wait and see.

It's becoming common practice for developers and publishers to document the creative process behind creating videogames. Command & Conquer presents an interesting take on game design, using real actors instead of digital ones to tall its story. There is a new documentary describing the casting and filming process for Command & Conquer 3 available on Xbox Live Marketplace (also handily embedded at the top of this post). Of course, it also has geekily satisfying doses of Michael "Sam Fisher" Ironside and Billy Dee "Lando Calrissian" Williams. Check out the documentary and tell us what you think.

Do you like C&C's use of real actors, or do you prefer digital actors?

You may have heard that we had a tough time getting our hands on the Command & Conquer 3 demo last week. Saints be praised, we finally managed to grab the demo this morning. We spent a few hours playing the game and coming to grips with the controls. We also spent about 20 minutes getting owned on Xbox Live. So, is it any good? The short answer is yes. The long answer is after the break.

We fired up our trusty 360 this morning, as we are required to do under contract, and were pleased to see that the Command & Conquer 3 demo has gone live. Originally promised to arrive yesterday, we were left with nothing. Thankfully, the demo has cleared whatever hurdle that stood before it and is now just waiting to be downloaded. Tantalizingly sized at 1GB exactly, it just dares you grab it. So, what are you waiting for? Go get it. We'll post our impressions of the demo later today.

Anybody manage to get any play time already?

Despite yesterday's reports that a Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars demo was set to drop today, it remains unseen. The demo was unofficially announced via a forum post by an Electronic Arts employee. Either the employee was misinformed or the demo is still clearing certification hurdles at Microsoft. Of course, there are still many hours left in the day for the demo to drop, but as most demos hit in the morning, we're less than optimistic.

Rest assured, we'll let you know when it's live.

According to a moderator post on the Command & Conquer 3 forums, the anticipated demo of the game will arrive on Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow. Finally, RTS fans will have a chance to test out the revised console control scheme originally developed for Battle for Middle Earth II. Only this time, instead of pitting orcs against elves, it will be NOD versus GDI. There are also gamer pics, 2 new trailers, and themes available for download right now. Get 'em while they're hot. Should you enjoy the demo, the retail version of C&C 3 hits store shelves May 10th.

Half the fun of playing games on the Xbox 360 is unlocking achievements. Hell, just saying the word achievement feels pretty good. Try it: "achieeeeevement." Feels good, doesn't it? Because we all love achievements so much, we bring you the full achievement list for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, which arrives next month. The list comes to us courtesy of Achieve360Points and it's quite a list. It's refreshing to see that the bulk of the achievements are located in the single player campaign, as many games reserve the big points for multiplayer. Hopefully, this means everyone will be well versed in the game when they finally jump over to multiplayer. Of course, there are a handful of multiplayer achievements as well, including plenty of shame achievements worth 0 points. For example, lose a game to someone ranked 20 places below you and you'll net the "Losing Face" achievement. Hit the "read" link to see all 22 achievements.

A demo of C&C3 should hit marketplace within the next few weeks.

Having already enjoyed its PC debut, Command & Conqer 3: Tiberium Wars finally has a release date on the Xbox 360. C&C3 will arrive for the Xbox 360 on May 10th (not May 8th). Even better, Electronic Arts will release a demo of the game on Marketplace in the coming weeks. In celebration, EA has released a handful of new screen shots as well as the official box art for the game.

Command & Conquer 3 represents EA's second attempt to bring an authentic RTS experience to a home console. Naturally, this is a somewhat difficult process without the aid of a mouse and keyboard. EA's first attempt, Battle for Middle Earth II was decent, though not perfect. Here's hoping that Command & Conquer 3 finally delivers the ultimate RTS experience to console players.

Canada's little brother to Best Buy, Future Shop has a release date listed for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Apparently the game will release on May 8th, 2007, but you can never tell with site just trying to nab pre-orders. In any case, it looks like Command and Conquer 3 will be joining the ranks of the other major titles coming at the cusp of summer. Will you be looking to get your Real Time Strategizing on in a couple scant months?

We've had a lot of Command & Conquer 3 coverage lately, but so far we haven't seen many videos of pure, unbroken gameplay. Fear not fanboys, for GameVideos has risen to the challenge, delivering over three minutes of unadulterated destruction. Watch as the forces of the GDI, the Brotherhood of NOD, and the Scrin go head to head. With so much happening on screen at once, we can only hope that the 360 version manages to run without a hitch, especially during Live matches. Check out the video and tell us what you think.

We love it when a violent game is making its way to Germany. Why? Because we inevitably get to type out the name of Germany's ratings board: Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK). Say that three times fast. According to CVG, EA will be altering Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars so that it is suitable for Germany's impressionable youth. It seems the game's suicide bombers will no longer actually commit suicide. Instead, these more risk averse almost-suicide bombers will remove their deadly explosive payload and run away. EA notes that this is only an animation change and that it will not affect the game balance in any way.

This isn't the first game to fall under the USK's ratings hammer. Other 360 titles, including Dead Rising and Gears of War, have been banned from the country outright. Of course, smart gamers know that they can pick up an Austrian copy. At any rate, Command & Conquer 3 for the PC debuts this month, with the 360 version following soon after.

Not long ago, it was revealed that Command & Conquer 3 would feature Vision camera support on the Xbox 360. It was previously believed that players would only be able to see each other before and after a match, but this video shows video chat windows during the match as well. All in all, the video reveals two things. One, Vision cam support is perfect for a game like Command & Conquer. Two, this may be the most annoying feature ever conceived. The video goes out of its way to show us how annoying this feature could be, and we're not exactly sure that's good marketing strategy, but the feature is at least promising.

Also, the video features actual 360 footage, giving us a look at the 360 control interface. It looks essentially like Battle for Middle Earth II, which we were expecting. It does, however, look much faster than BFMEII, which is definitely welcome.

For now, C&C3 for the 360 is saddled with a nebulous spring 2007 release date. Anyone plan on picking it up? Watch the video and tell us what you think (you can also grab the HD version here).

Xboxygen has a new trailer for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Unfortunately, the footage is purely cutscene and doesn't show any gameplay, but it does feature some pretty explosions and more of Kane's alleged baddass attitude. It also gives more insight into the NOD perspective on this contention. Xboxygen has a 720p version available for download, should you be interested. So what side are you going to take if you plan on picking this up?

[Thanks, DjDATZ]

Xboxyde managed to wrangle a new trailer for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The new trailer mixes gameplay footage with video cutscenes. Command & Conquer fans know that the series typically favors full motion video over CG cutscenes, and this video lives up to that tradition. The video brings in some serious talent, too. In particular we must point out the inclusion of Billy Dee "Lando Calrissian" Williams and Michael "Sam Fisher" Ironside. Hit the "read" link to check out the trailer.

C&C3 releases next month. Hopefully the control scheme has been successfully tweaked since BFMEII. Anyone planning on picking this one up?

EA released a new video of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium wars today. This video reveals an all new faction, the Scrin. The Scrin is an alien race with lots of lasery goodness and units that look like they were pulled directly out of War of the Worlds. Judging from the new trailer, they're not friendly aliens either. A handful of new screen shots were released as well. Check them out after the break.

Gamertag Radio has the goods on a special edition of Command & Conquer 3 that's coming to PC. Entitled Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Kane Edition, the game will include "an enormous amount of exclusive content." At first, we wondered why EA would exclude the 360 from its special edition love fest. Then we looked at the list of included content. Let's see: strategy videos, 5 multiplayer maps, different skins for your units, exclusive wallpapers, and behind the scenes videos. Sound familiar? Our best guess would be that EA plans to make these items available through Xbox Live Marketplace. Granted, it's just speculation for now, but it seems highly plausible, especially given EA's love affair with microtransactions. Potentially, it could actually be cheaper than picking up a special edition. Pay for the stuff you want (maps) and leave the rest alone (videos, themes, etc.). (Did we just mention EA and microtransactions in a positive light? Whaa?)

Do you like the idea of buying this content one piece at a time, or would you prefer to buy it all in a spiffy special edition?

2006 was a great year for the Xbox 360. We saw tons of great games -- Oblivion, Gears of War, and Dead Rising just to name a few -- Xbox Live Arcade showed signs of maturity, Xbox Live grew by leaps and bounds, and overall 360 sales are closing in on the 10 million mark. Yes, it was a good time to be a gamer if you had a 360. What about the future? What does 2007 hold for the Xbox 360? Read on and join the discussion.

A new trailer for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars popped up on Xbox Live Marketplace today. The video features lots and lots of mass destruction, as huge contingents of soldiers and machines wage war. Unfortunately, the video is devoid of any sort of interface, so we can't tell what -- if any -- refinements have been made to the control scheme created for BFMEII. Overall, the game is looking very slick and polished. The trailer itself is well produced, too. We particularly like the tag line at the end of the video: "Coming to a home theater near you." Nice. See the trailer after the break.

GameTrailers has posted some new footage of Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The video showcases the game's two factions, the GDI (Global Defense Initiative, i.e. the good guys) and NOD (the Brotherhood of Nod, i.e. the bad guys). The GDI focuses on powerful, but slow moving units. The video features massive two-turreted tanks, missile launching foot soldiers, and some powerful mechs. The Brotherhood focuses on attacking and escaping quickly. The video features many vehicles capable of teleporting in and out of battle for quick strikes, including jets, jeeps, and laser/flamethrower wielding mechs. Watch the video after the break.

Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars was officially confirmed as a 360 title last month, and now we bring you brand new footage of the game, via GameTrailers. In short, the game looks insane (in a good way). Without any sort of HUD or visible interface, it's hard to imagine actually being in control of the madness on screen. The game looks great, especially for an RTS, and looks to be running at a buttery smooth frame rate, too. Watch the video after the break and tell us what you think.

We reported that Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars was bound for 360 way back in June. 4 months later, it looks like EA has finally seen fit to give official confirmation. Building (and hopefully improving) upon the control scheme developed for Battle for Middle Earth II, C&C3 promises a great campaign as well as a huge multiplayer component all in a futuristic setting. Two screens, including the image above, have been released and they look awfully nice -- see hi-res versions on Xboxyde. No doubt, RTS enthusiasts will prefer to play on their PC, but it's nice for 360 fanboys to have a more couch-friendly option. Read the full press release (politely borrowed from Fraggerock) after the break.
