EA hasn’t all the time made it straightforward for players who need to dip into its catalog of PC classics, however that’s altering. The corporate has quietly introduced its hottest legacy titles to Steam, a few of which have been beforehand unique to the EA app, its EA Play subscription, or by means of GOG.com.
Which means video games like the superb Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack, the Dungeon Keeper franchise, The Saboteur, and maybe the final stable entry within the Sim Metropolis franchise, Sim City 3000 Unlimited, are simpler to play than ever. Not solely that, they’re all discounted.
The spotlight of those new additions, to me, is the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection, which options each sport within the franchise together with their respective expansions for simply $9.88.
Whereas the 2020 Command & Conquer Remastered Collection is inarguably one of the simplest ways to expertise the primary two mainline titles within the franchise, the Final Assortment is the one approach so as to add Purple Alert 2 and 3, Tiberian Solar, Tiberium Wars and its glorious enlargement, Kane’s Wrath to your Steam library.
The Final Assortment additionally contains the first-person shooter Command & Conquer Renegade, and the usually ignored Command & Conquer Generals and its Zero Hour enlargement. Even in case you already personal the Remastered Assortment, this large compilation isn’t a foul approach to spend $10.
The sudden addition of those titles to Steam has me hoping that EA has a brand new entry within the Command & Conquer franchise deliberate, however I’m not holding my breath. For now, you’ll must excuse me as I be part of Tim Curry in escaping to the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism: area!
