Command and Conquer, oh, how we miss thee. With 2010's Tiberian Twilight still the most recent, mainline entry in the RTS game series - if you don't count the excellent remasters of Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn - it feels like the Westwood classic could be missing in action forever. But don't worry: Tempest Rising, from THQ, 3D Realms, and Slipgate has just launched its first playable test on Steam, and it feels like the spiritual return of every great Command and Conquer game ever.
