We are all aware of the command and conquer genre. Brilliant RTS games that are remembered for there easy game play and also for there cheap actors. Command and Conquer: The First Decade, plays host to all the command and conquer games to this date inlcuding all there expansion packs so a total of 12 games and a good behind the scenes into westwood studios.

Command and Conquer & Co-vert Ops
If you were born in the late 80's early 90's you would certainly remember this game. The first Command & Conquer that set off this type of stratedgy games has the simple C&C game play and its good interface. But i find myself playing it and knowing how much better it could be. I would'nt advise buying this seperately.
Teams NOD / GDI

Command & Conquer: Tiberiun Sun & Firestorm
The tiberiun sun series that started with the first game carries on. With even better game play, new units, buildings, superweapons and 30 or so new missions. My first play of tiberium sun and its expansion pack left me wanting to play it again and again. Sadly the skirmish play in tiberium sun is boring and the AI seems to over use the super weapons. But i would recommend getting this game seperately.
Teams: NOD / GDI / Mutants

Command & Conquer: Red Alert & Final Alert
This was the very first C&C game i ever played, it was also the first PC game i played. It has a soft spot in my heart as it is a fantastic game to play, including its cheap acting. But this sets a different plot in the C&C universe with people like Stalin and even mentions to Hitler. Good game play, good story, good units, good cutscenes. This game i would reccomend to anyone even if your new or have never played a stratedgy game.
]teams: Soviets / Allies

Command & Conquer: Renegade

Where the game went wrong. Command and conquer goes from RTS to FPS. This sort of genre is not ment for C&C but when i started to play i thought it was a good play and quite fun. Very reperitive and lacking in graphics makes it a bit boring so its generally only good in small doses. Definetly not worth buying if you are experienced in the previous C&C games.
Teams: Nod / GDI

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 & Yuris Revenge
This game that i have played countless times, completed around 4 times is one of the best in the C&C series. Even though it holds the same teams as its predessor (red alert) there is very different units and even better story lines. Also a brilliant online community for RA2 were you fight other people and even achieve world ranking. Buy this game!
Teams: Soviets / Allies / yuri

Command & Conquer: Generals & Zero Hour
My least favourite of the franchise, it has been tainted with EA's corporate evil. The game lacking in many areas it lacks the good story lines that its previous games had. However it does make up for the lack of story with the good units and missions you must play as China, USA or GLA ( Global Liberation Army). Each with a certain set of goals that do differ but get repetitive. Buy these game for its online capabilities.
Teams: USA / GLA / China

The pack that is reletively cheap £20.00 GBP or around $35 USD is a brilliant buy and a huge bargain. The price also makes the pack a much better game in my opinion you are paying 1 game for 11 more which is a massive saving. Some of the games are not worth buying on there own but in the pack there place is deserved. So i recommend C&C: The First Decade to anyone with very high regard. Although i do believe that if Westwood Studios were still around the later games would be so much better.
