Command & Conquer: Kane's Wrath unleashes June 23 on Xbox 360


Command & Conquer: Kane's Wrath for Xbox 360 will hit retail with a vengeance on June 23. ShackNews reports the game, which was an "expansion pack" for the PC version of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, will not require Xbox 360 owners to own the original game.

Kane's Wrath on Xbox 360 will cost $40 and contains an "exclusive challenge mode." EA also released a video about the achievements available in the game, which we've placed after the break.

Command & Conquer 3 expanding with Kane's Wrath


EA debuted its "Command & Conquer TV: Battlecast" today, and they helped to make up for its unsettling hosts and production values with a fairly important announcement for Tiberium fiends: The first expansion to Command & Conquer 3 will be called Kane's Wrath, and will appear in early 2008.

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.

Strong lineup to boost PC gaming in '07

spore
Here at Joystiq we don't always pay proper attention to PC gaming. Luckily FiringSquad has picked up the slack. The site has issued its 'Most Anticipated' games of the year list, featuring twenty upcoming titles. Here's a look at the top five:
  • Supreme Commander (Gas Powered Games/THQ) - spiritual successor to Total Annihilation; sci-fi RTS with dual-monitor support
  • Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (Splash Damage/id Software/Activision) - prequel to Quake 2; two playable sides (Human and Strogg) are said to offer vastly different gameplay experiences
  • World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade (Blizzard) - the expansion to end all expansions ('cha-ching')
  • Spore (Maxis/EA) - from single-celled to universe conqueror; the video game to end all video games
  • Crysis (Crytek/EA) - it has the looks, can it live up to the hype?
Which games are you planning to upgrade your rig for?
