One thing never ceases to amaze me. This insane fixation on review scores that seems to have grown steadily amongst the gaming community in recent times. More often than not you see reviewers dealt slanderous comments about their decision to give a game a score (say, around 7) for highly anticipated titles, which is perceived to mean mediocre. But did they bother to read the review and notice why it was given such score? You know they didn’t. We’re becoming a group that puts our complete faith in an arbitrary number.

A long time ago there were some games called Mechwarrior that were based on an old table top game called Battletech about factions in the future battling it out for control of resources. The series had a great little tag line I remember well, ‘In the future life is cheap, but Battlemechs aren’t’. He he, awesome.

Anyway, these games were very good and enjoyed by many. Then they stopped making them. Now they’re making them again.

It seems crazy that a game series that’s been around since before I discovered girls and bourbon is only up to instalment four in its life cycle. Even more crazy that despite a graphical boost the game remains basically unchanged. Then again Street Fighter IV pulled this exact same trick.

Command and Conquer 4 promises more than just another instalment of point and click future warfare, this will actually be the final instalment in the games Tiberium story line focusing on the war between the heroic GDI and the dastardly Brotherhood of Nod.
