All this game is missing is a crossover with South Park. Seriously, a DLC with a South Park crossover, along with a South Park episode crossover with Postal Dude and Champ would be great!

A surprisingly interesting Survival Horror game. I recommend giving it a try. This game creates a great atmosphere too.

This is the true classic Fallout by Interplay, with Tim Cain and Brian Fargo. This is not the Bethesda Fallout, but the true classic before Bethesda ever got involved. This is the best Fallout game, with the best story, and a great atmospheric soundtrack. Fallout is an amazing game, and well worth playing through to the end.

I love original Westwood Associates/Westwood Studios games. I do not enjoy the games made since EA acquired Westwood and eventually dissolved it.

Command and Conquer is one of their flagship franchises, along with Lands of Lore. It is so interesting to me that Kane is Cain from Genesis in the Holy Bible. The Brotherhood of Nod is Cain's secret and ancient religious cult. Westwood tied Command and Conquer to Lands of Lore in Lands of Lore 3, where the final area is on Earth and the protagonist finds CABAL in the Temple of Nod.

Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun and the original Red Alert are the only true Westwood Studios Command and Conquer games, as the rest are infected by EA. This is why Red Alert 2, which is a game that probably should not have happened, is so different and comedic, compared to the original Red Alert. I say that RA2 should not have happened because the original Red Alert was a spin-off with an interesting science fiction time travel theme and a great atmosphere and soundtrack. RA 2 is like a whole other game. EA acquired Westwood in 1998, which means Westwood had done most of the work on Tiberian Sun, and hence Tiberian Sun is mostly untainted by EA. Lands of Lore 3 is also mostly untainted by EA because that was released earlier in 1999 than Tiberian Sun, later in 1999.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the Tiberian Sun Remastered Edition!

This game represents a very niche and rare computer game genre: the cult simulator. There are only two games I know of in this genre: 1. Evil Cult, and 2. Cults and Daggers, which is also available on Steam. This game has great potential, and is being improved with expansion sets. I highly recommend this game, which also has an excellent soundtrack.

This is a great game! Cults and Daggers is a rare example of this sort of game being designed well, where it is actually engaging, fun to play, and true to the themes it involves. There are not many games of this genre of "Cult Simulation" around. I can only think of one other, called "Evil Cult" which is a free browser game that is also very fun and well designed, but much simpler than this. I highly recommend this game, especially if you ever wanted a good strategy game that simulates cult management and the religious, occult and supernatural themes involved. Along with this, the Classical Age setting and aesthetics, as well as the art design are marvellous.

I really like this game and it has great potential to be expanded upon. I hope with future updates, the game mechanics are made more complex and fine-tuned. I also would love to see an expansion with a campaign setting in contemporary times.

I finished the game recently. I saw from this that the game needs further development. Regardless, this programme is the kernel of a great game that needs more development for the game to properly flourish.

This is a really great and enjoyable spin-off for Half Life 2. I am genuinely happy I played through it. I hope Valve has not forsaken their Masterpiece that is the Half-Life Series.
