2POC has interviewed Technique, one of the few players gunning to qualify in the Ladder Season 3 Grand Championship Tournament for both Red Alert 3 and Kane's Wrath. Here's a snip:
2POC: You are one of the few top players gunning to qualify for the season ending tournament in both Kane’s Wrath and Red Alert 3. What was your drive to take this approach for Ladder Season 3?
Technique: Well, I'm more aiming at Kane's Wrath then Red Alert 3, but my goal is to qualify 3 times on Kane's Wrath and once on Red Alert 3. Then, I'll see how far I can come in the tournament on both games (my guess is that I'll do better on Kane's Wrath then Red Alert 3, but who knows!).
Those of ya interested can read the full interview HERE.

Red Alert Article Wed - Jun 17, 2009, 4:42 pm [EST] posted by Lion
Time for a little nostalgia as Brutal Gamer looks back at the original Red Alert. It's article #6 in their weekly 'Lookin Back' feature. Here's a snip.
Hello, and welcome to another instalment of Lookin’ Back. As a big fan of Real Time Strategy games, I’ve decided to go for probably my favourite RTS ever. I think it’s safe to say that most people have heard of the Command & Conquer series that was initially created by Westwood Studios, who also made the Dune games.
In this edition, I’m going to talk about the second game in the long running Command & Conquer franchise, the original Red Alert. It takes place in an alternative history of World War II, in which Albert Einstein developed a device that would enable time travel. He went back in time to eliminate Hitler and prevent World War II from happening. However, all this does is change the sides, as the Soviet empire tries to conquer Europe and the Allies, in this reality including Germany, are trying to prevent it.
You can read the full article HERE. I have many fond memories of playing the original Red Alert, both on and offline. For me it ranks as one of my all-time fav games.

It's been awhile since I've posted any new maps for Red Alert 3. My busy schedule off the internet has put a hold on reviewing maps, but I'll get caught up eventually. Anyhoot, I've posted a new RA3 featured map today titled Shipwreck Shore, created by Speeder. A most excellent two player map worth checking out.
More info and the download available HERE. Enjoy the map!
