We've been <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/trine"><span style="font-style: italic;">Trine</span></a> really hard to come up with a clever statement for this week's European PSN releases, but we've come up short. Our usual <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/commanders-challenge">Command</a> </span>of the English language has failed us -- a fact which will keep us up all through the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/14/batman-arkham-asylums-insane-night-dlc-detailed/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Insane Night</span></a>.<br /><br />...

Well, folks, it's not quite the Summer of Arcade anymore. <a href="http://majornelson.com/archive/2009/09/14/this-week-on-arcade-bubble-bobble-and-c-amp-c-commander-s-challenge.aspx">Microsoft's Major Nelson</a> has announced <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/commanders-challenge/"><em>C&amp;C Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/bubble-bobble-neo"><em>Bubble Bobble Neo</em></a> as this week's Xbox Live Arcade releases. Despite the inclusion of "C&amp;C Red Alert 3" right there in the title, the former game is a standalone experience and can be played without the original <em>Red Alert 3</em> game disc.<br />
<br />
Each title will draw 800<span class="album_title"><img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif" /> ($10) from your account, assuming it doesn't go toward this week's Xbox Live deal,</span> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/08/xbox-360s-deal-of-the-week-games-on-demand-avatar-dlc-for-s/"><em>Lode Runner</em></a>.<br />

Listen, we know you're excited to finally get your hands on EA's standalone strategy spin-off, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/commanders-challenge"><em>Command &amp; Conquer </em><em>Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge</em></a>. You'll be able to fulfill your desires for meticulous action this week; the game is set to launch on <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/c/ccredalert3ccxbla/">XBLA this Wednesday</a> and on <a href="http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/09/14/command-and-conquer-commanders-challenge-coming-to-psn-this-week/">PSN the day after</a> for 800<span class="album_title"><img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2007/11/microsoftpointslogosmall.gif" /></span> ($10). You can temporarily satiate yourself by checking out the game's latest trailer after the jump.<br />
<br />
However, before hastily acquiring the title, heed this warning: <em>Commander's Challenge</em> is infused with such a large dosage of Ric Flair that other items in your respective console's hard drive may get <em>totally pumped</em> and begin <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J8HC-sxiaY">stylishly pummeling one another</a>.

<strong>Update:</strong> To be clear, the <em>Commander's Challenge</em> content does not require a <em>Red Alert 3</em> disc and will be sold as a standalone product. We're sorry for any confusion this may have caused.<br />
<br />
Though <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/red-alert-3"><em>Command &amp; Conquer Red Alert 3</em></a>'s <em>Uprising</em> expansion landed on PCs months ago, it seems a port of at least some of the expansion's content is heading to consoles this fall. The "Commander's Challenge" <strike>DLC</strike> standalone game is set to run you $10 and offers "50 intense challenges against a set of nine different commanders, including 16-time world champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair." Sound familiar? That's because the ESRB let slip <a href="http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/07/16/esrb-lists-red-alert-3-commanders-challenge-for-xbox-360-and/">the first news of the DLC</a> a little over a month ago.<br />
<br />
EA's official confirmation of the <strike>DLC</strike> game also speaks of "giant Soviet war bears" and an "army of psionic Japanese school girls," but that's all old hat for you <em>Red Alert 3</em> players out there. Given the price and relative lateness of it, we're curious if anyone other than the most hardcore of <em>RA3</em> fans will bother picking it up. Well, casual <em>Red Alert 3</em> players?<br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/17/red-alert-3-commanders-challenge-dlc-costs-10-coming-to-360/">Red Alert 3 'Commander's Challenge' costs $10, coming to 360 / PS3 this fall [update]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:40:00 EST.
