Get 3 classic Command & Conquer games for free

What's better than a freebie? A freebie that's actually decent. Case in point: Electronic Arts is giving away three awesome real-time strategy games--one of which all but defined the genre.

For a total cost of zero dollars, you can download Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, and Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

Yes, they're old, but so is this giveaway--as I've just learned from CNET's John P. Falcone, who wrote about these and other free PC games more than two years ago.

There are no strings attached; EA has simply allowed the three games to become freeware. However, installing them can be a major pain. I was able to get Red Alert running on a Windows Vista-equipped laptop, but only by following the installation instructions to the letter.

Whilst most C&C fans will probably already be aware of this (and most likely already own the games anyway) it's good to see this happen. Any newcomers to the C&C scene can go back and relive the classics now and they'll hopefully understand why we (series veterans) get so excited about it :p

Peace through power!
