    There are apparently fan made patches and quick tutorials on how to get it to run like silk on Vista.

    The other players are clearly doing it wrong as I've had Shoguns taken down faster than I could click to make the shouldertackle.


    Anyway, yay free games.

    And yay RA 3, can't wait to play it single player.

    I'm downloading it, because it's free, but it'll probably go unused in the save folder as the C&C: GE that was made free a while back.

    It is tempting.
    But I have the original (and expansion pack) discs around here somewhere.

    Naw, that's the King Oni.

    The Shoguns are the giant goddam battleships.

    Yeah they will, there is some horrible imbalance there, especially for the Rising Sun.

    And I'd be down for a 2v2 but I suck dick at it, plus I'm getting in to Company of Heroes at the moment until the full game arrives :)
