There's also a brief description for the title on the site, though it's a blurb that could fit almost any Command & Conquer game.

The 'Commander's Challenge' could pertain to the Uprising expansion for Red Alert 3 on the PC, which featured a game mode of the same name, so it wouldn't surprise us if this turned out to be a console port of that PC expansion. As long as they don't cut back on the Ric Flair, we're good.

The latest trailer for Red Alert 3: Uprising has a little bit of everything. Manic combat? Got it. Creepy girl? Yeah, it's in there too. Cheese? Only if you consider the acting, which, like Kraft, is the cheesiest. Watch the chaos -- and camp -- unfold as we wait for The Nature Boy to teach us all about defeat. Wooo!

The video offers an early look at the download-only expansion's collection of new units and cast members, as well as a campaign centered around Empire faction head case, Yuriko Omega. Uprising is currently gathering resources, and is expected to deploy to PCs sometime in March.

One of the things we've always loved about the Red Alert series is its campy FMV sequences. The other thing we love is tesla coils. Man, those things really mess dudes up.

Back to our original point: EA is once again pulling out all the stops for the expansion to Red Alert 3. Returning cast members include sex bombs Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic, who will reprise their Red Alert 3 roles. Among the new faces making an appearance in Uprising are Jamie Chung (from the upcoming train wreck Dragonball: Evolution), Malcolm McDowell (from Heroes and many, many other things), Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (from the TV series Prison Break), Holly Valance (from one of the best worst movies ever, DOA), and Ric Flair (retired professional wrestler). Yes, the Nature Boy himself will be making an appearance in the game. If he doesn't give someone his patented backhand chop, we're going to be severely disappointed.

Dead or Alive actress Holly Valance is trading in her sword (and vial of box office poison) for a pen and paper as journalist Brenda Snow in the recently announced Red Alert 3: Uprising. Valance will lend her live action camp to the upcoming expansion, which is earmarked for a digital-only release this March.

The Australian-born starlet describes her role in the game as "a camp, over-dramatised character," telling Eurogamer that "it was fun to go a little bit over the top." We're sure that's quite a change from DoA's Christie Allen. The four people who saw that movie tell us that she was the very picture of Hollywood grace.

Don't count the filthy Reds out yet, as Electronic Arts has detailed Uprising, an upcoming expansion to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. The add-on will send players back to the front lines with a new single-player campaign, new units and a greater quantity of live-action cutscenes, just in case the original's love affair with camp left you wanting more.

Uprising will also include a new mode, dubbed 'Commander's Challenge', which will allow players to test their strategic skills across 50 different stages with different rules and conditions. However, while Red Alert 3 is available for the Xbox 360 and a PS3 version should arrive ... someday ... only those playing on computers will be able to come away with bragging rights. Uprising will be a PC exclusive when it is released as a digital download in March.
