EA has taken this infamous incident and implemented it into its pseudo-historic Command & Conquer: Red Alert series, which debuted in 1996. Essentially, the events of World War II were prevented due to Albert Einstein using his time machine to go back and eliminate Adolf Hitler. This prompted the Soviet Union to advance upon Eastern Europe but ultimately be defeated by the Allies. Skip ahead to 2008, and we now have Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 for the Xbox 360.
The events from the previous games lead up to the scenario in Red Alert 3. The Soviet Union is on the verge of destruction and desperate to reclaim its power, Soviet General Krukov and Colonel Cherdenko (played by Tim Curry) use a time machine to travel back to 1927 to the Soviet Physics International Conference and eliminate Albert Einstein. This prevents him from creating the technology that allowed the Allies to defeat the Soviet Union in the previous titles. Returning to the present, General Krukov discovers that Cherdenko is the Premier of the Soviet Union, which is on the brink of conquering Europe. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in Japan and decided to declare war. Without Einstein, nuclear weapons don't exist anymore, so both the Allies and the Soviet Union are forced into a three-way war with the Empire."
ABG's newest bad-lad of the internet, Oliver Southern, has compiled a list of some of gaming's best(?) celebrity cameos. Look out for; Michael Jackson in SEGA's Space Channel 5, The Hoff in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and...Justin Bieber playing basketball?

Now we’re not specifically looking at bad sequels to bad games, that would be boring, instead we’re looking at sequels that took what was present in a good game and completely wrecked it. These 10 games started out by building up our hype to extreme levels only to shatter our dreams and break out hearts once we got our hands on them and so we’re calling these out as the worst sequels ever made."

Dragon age 2 was not a bad game, just a terrible sequel if that makes any sense. Should have been it's own IP.
I loved Dragon Age II. I even got the platinum trophy for it. That was the very first medieval themed fantasy RPG that I enjoyed aside from an Ultima game I played in the early 90's at a cousins house.
Lord of Shadows 2 was one that left me scratching my head because I loved the first one! Red Faction Armageddon was another one that I still wonder why they didn't just give us something more like Guerrilla.

It's a real-time strategy game, yes. But aren't strategy games on consoles always terrible? Not always, as we discover in Show of the Week."
