Command & Conquer: Red Alert invades iPhone in October
Comrades, EA Mobile will attempt to bring full-scale RTS action to the iPhone this October with Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Control the Allies or the Soviets in 12 levels as you "drag and scroll to gauge the battlefield. Pinch-zoom in and out of the action. Select and move units with a tap." A touch-screen RTS sounds like a dream come true, but we'll reserve judgment until we see how the iPhone's tiny screen handles our mighty, meaty manpaws. Delicate, they are not. %Gallery-75230%

This Wednesday: Bubble Bobble Neo, Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge arrive on XBLA
Well, folks, it's not quite the Summer of Arcade anymore. Microsoft's Major Nelson has announced C&C Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge and Bubble Bobble Neo as this week's Xbox Live Arcade releases. Despite the inclusion of "C&C Red Alert 3" right there in the title, the former game is a standalone experience and can be played without the original Red Alert 3 game disc. Each title will draw 800 ($10) from your account, assuming it doesn't go toward this week's Xbox Live deal, Lode Runner. %Gallery-68517%
Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge storming XBLA and PSN this week
Listen, we know you're excited to finally get your hands on EA's standalone strategy spin-off, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge. You'll be able to fulfill your desires for meticulous action this week; the game is set to launch on XBLA this Wednesday and on PSN the day after for 800 ($10). You can temporarily satiate yourself by checking out the game's latest trailer after the jump. However, before hastily acquiring the title, heed this warning: Commander's Challenge is infused with such a large dosage of Ric Flair that other items in your respective console's hard drive may get totally pumped and begin stylishly pummeling one another. Buyer beware!
ESRB lists 'Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge' for Xbox 360 and PS3
The ESRB site has a listing for a potential new installment in the Command & Conquer franchise destined for the Xbox 360 and PS3 called Red Alert 3: Commander's Challenge. There's also a brief description for the title on the site, though it's a blurb that could fit almost any Command & Conquer game. The 'Commander's Challenge' could pertain to the Uprising expansion for Red Alert 3 on the PC, which featured a game mode of the same name, so it wouldn't surprise us if this turned out to be a console port of that PC expansion. As long as they don't cut back on the Ric Flair, we're good. [Via Shacknews]
