Inside Mac Games has posted a first-look preview of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, the latest game in the Command & Conquer franchise, and the first of the Red Alert series to come out for the Macintosh. Originally developed by EA and being brought to the Mac by Transgaming Technology and GameTree Online, Red Alert 3 promises to be a one-of-a-kind RTS experience for Macintosh gamers. Here's and excerpt from the preview:

The Red Alert series is based entirely around time travel. Starting with the assassination of Hitler in Red Alert, going to the time and space teleporter (Chronosphere) in Red Alert 2, and finally ending with the assassination of Einstein in Red Alert 3. These time hijinks led to the main powers of the world being the Soviets and the Allies for the majority of the series. The most recent assassination has even removed all nuclear capability from the world. In RA3, however, the Japanese enter the fray as the Empire of the Rising Sun. Due to never being nuked, their technological sophistication is well beyond the rest of the world and they are ready to attack the weakened forces of the Soviets and Allies.
