Command & Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun has finally made it to release. It was originally due in 1997, but was held up after Electronic Arts bought Westwood, the game's developers, from Virgin last summer. Follow-up to the popular Command and Conquer: Red Alert, the new game brings the concept forward a decade or seven, to a post-apocalyptic-style future world. Tiberium, a strange and mysterious mineral which sprouts from the ground, has covered much of the planet, killing or mutating most of the human race with its deadly emissions. Through the ruined cities and vast tiberium fields, two forces fight for the planet. It's a straight up fight, good NATO types versus the religious fanatics with the mad and sadistic frontman. Strange how often that seems to happen. As fans will know, the good guys are the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the cultists are known as the Brotherhood of Nod.
