Red Alert 3 Demo

Short, fast, violent, and with loose women. No, not my first sexual encounter but it does summarize the Red Alert 3 demo. I was surprised at how well the game ran on my system even when entire city blocks were exploding around my armies. Unlike Empire Earth series or other modern RTSes, this one does not become bogged down in unit micro management, resource gathering, or system upgrading. It has all of those things but they require maybe a fifth grade level of comprehension and after you get those basic it is just a matter of the standard rock-paper-scissors theory of RTS where a unit is superior against a particular enemy unit but useless against another.

Essentially it is RTS for dummies but the atmosphere is light and humorous and the in-game briefing videos are usually conducted by women whose military uniforms do not include anything to cover their cleavage. So really you can't go wrong. I think I have some gift certificates lying around the house so it might be time to head to the store.
