Red Alert 3 and the Perils of Time Travel

New screens inside

Posted by Staff
Once again, it's Monday. It always seems to be Monday. It's enough to make SPOnG think someone's been mucking around with the time space continuum and has trapped us in temporal loop. To further illustrate the perils of playing about with the metaphysical fabric of the universe, Electronic Arts has released these new screens from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 .

It's a mucky business. Just read what happened (according to EA) when the Russians decided to take a jaunt into the past, "In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia.

"The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging.

"The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks."

Nothing good can come from time travel. Nothing.
