That's a toughie... they're good games for sure (for the most part), but obviously each iteration builds on the previous one in a way that for me if I was going to get and play them all I'd have to start from the first one and work through - going back to an earlier one would feel very restrictive otherwise after playing a modern one (mostly from a gameplay/systems perspective rather than a graphical one)
The ultimate collection was on offer on origin a while back half price

keep an eye out here it might go back on again

Yep might just do that, not really in any rush.

Thanks for the tip, will pick this up later.
I am still sorting out this mess. They have indirectly hinted that they wont honour this and done next to nothing to apologise or even simply clear things up and admit it was a mistake.
They have taken my cash and order and left it with the new order ie base game and 1 expansion which is unacceptable imo. Changing the conditions of the order without even telling the customer is wrong.
Paypal transacton still not sorted either its a complete mess. Not impressed with them at all.

Well for £3.74 it is worth the risk imho. Red Alert 3 is already 5 years old and still working. I don't think you'll have a problem for many years to come yet. I mean there is very little these days you can buy for £3.74 that will give you hours of enjoyment, Red Alert 3 that is!
Fair warning that C&C 4 is pretty rubbish, I've owned it for a while now and still haven't managed to play it for more than a few hours before getting annoyed and quitting. That is coming from a long time fan of the series from the C&C 95 days and enjoyed every game but that one.
If it comes down to it, just get Red Alert 3.
Thanks for the detailed reply!
RA2 was always a favourite and I've got the addon for RA3 in the Humble Bundle so I'll probably take the plunge, the missus will get it as well as I've seen it's got co-op so that sounds good.
C&C4, I've been reading some reviews and you're right it does sound blooming awful, part of the reason I avoided it in the first place.
The fact that you have to be online all the time to unlock units in skirmish is nothing short of scandalous, C&C always unlocked everything in skirmish mode at the start, that was the whole point of it!
Still...as you say £3.74 isn't too much to lay out but it's more on principle that I object.
I note your point on keeping the servers alive but read this quote from PC Gamer, now on Games Radar:

Looks like a cd key issue (duplicate cd key) with the Tomb Raider bundle - its now "Currently Unavailable". I assume until they fix it.

It's now live, just bought them for a friend.
Posted a few posts up, got me and the missus a copy this morning

Couldn't see it for looking, I have no excuses...
oh the shame.
oh the shame.
Done too. It's a strange mechanism to be able to register DLC to your account even when you don't own the Saint's Row 4 base game.
However, it's free (yay!).

Do i need to do anything special buying the Amazon Tomb Raider bundle because it the US website?

You need to add a us address to your account and that's about it. I use google's address.
