Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, though no Starcraft , admittedly offers a great and immensely addictive if not particularly original RTS gaming experience, complete with classic game mechanics and a gloriously tacky storyline. Happily, things will soon get better, more innovative, bloodier and -yes- even tackier with Kane’s Wrath. Well, Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath to be exact, that will apparently be the expansion C&C has been waiting for and a (probably) lovely strategic offering that should be hitting both PCs and Xbox 360s sometime before this Summer.

Interestingly, the game will be adding a Risk-like strategic level (soon to be known as Global Conquest Mode) to the RTS proceedings, which will incidentally break the linear structure of the single player campaign and finally challenge the players’ turn-based, more strategic, gaming skills too. Then again, besides the added fun of moving armies around a digital board, more of Kane should be all you care for and obviously you’ll be getting that in abundance. Oh, and the thing will be a looker too.

Here are some glorious new screenshots to get you impressed and waiting:
