Jam Enslaver Reviews...Emperor: Battle for Dune


Maybe it's a mistake to release a new video during E3 week, but hell if I didn't work hard over the past two days to get this review finished so I'm putting it out.

The Command and Conquer games will always hold a special place for me, since seeing the original in action at my friend Richard's house is one of my very earliest gaming memories. But when I started thinking about making a video about C&C, it struck me that Westwood actually made a whole handful of games that don't really get talked about much. Since there were a couple that I'd played in the past, I decided to create a sort of series of reviews and tackle them all together. Emperor: Battle for Dune is a good place to start, seeing as it took Westwood back to their roots as well as being the last RTS game produced by the studio.

Now of course the challenge is to keep the videos coming for parts 2 and 3 (and maybe 4, depending on whether I can play enough of a particular title in time to write about it). It's going to be tough, especially with Infamous sitting in my PS3, but it does feel good to work hard at something again. Expect to see more soon.
