Command and Conquer Generals

Command and Conquer Generals is an RTS set in modern times. There are three major armies (USA, China, and GLA) with individual campaigns for each army. You can play through a satisfying and lengthy campaign or have a good match in skirmish mode. There is also a Multi-Player mode as well.

Each army has different types of troops and buildings, and their own unique apocalypse weapon. USA has an underwhelming laser that takes a very long time (about 5 minutes) to charge up and can't even destroy a whole building! China has a nuclear missile that is fairly powerful. The GLA launches a storm of missiles that destroys many buildings and leave behind toxic gas that kills any infantry instantly. Yeah, I only use the GLA.

The screenshots show the graphics at the highest possible settings, though like me you will most likely have to set them down. It doesn't look as good but its still the same experience!
