The final pin in Command & Conquer's grave.

Shown here is a composite sketch of Yuriko Omega, the Empire of the Rising Sun's elite psionic commando. Shockingly, she appears no older than 18 years of age.

A Japanese magical school-uniform wearing girl with an extremely short skirt, "barely 18" is Japan's secret unit in EA's new RTS game, Red Alert 3. I guess EA thought it's very funny to image the Japanese (how surprising) by pedophilian manga innuendo. How politically correct of them.
I was wrong by expecting a serious game, since they're concentrating so many efforts in making the game a joke.
And you know what I think? I think it's funny! Yeah! I'm gonna buy that game, and laugh so hard over C&C's grave.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  ;D

 This is the sequel to a game with a dastardly slapheaded psychic with a silly accent controlling, among other things, mind-controlled giant squid and you're objecting because it's silly?

Silly tim, It's the principle of the matter. >:(

This smacks of cheap fanservice(more like fap-service, imho).

Was C&C 3 this bad?  :o

It seems more like the exaggerated silliness of the previous ones. Russia gets giant airships and nuclear plants that glow in the dark, America has 'JUSTICE!' stamped on everything in foot-high letters, secret agents speak like Sean Connery, and Japan, well, then it's schoolgirl psychics and giant robots.

Gameplay wise Red Alert and Red Alert 2 were awesome.  Playing Red Alert 2 online never gets old.  I'm sure the game play will be fine.  That design/sketch however, seems like the artist is hardly trying.  Instead of coming up with something creative, he just really went to the bottom of the barrel.
