Game Informer writes: While the battle between air and land superiority has been waged for years in Command & Conquer's Red Alert offshoot, fans of the briny deep have had to sit it out for the most part. With the third version of the game, however, the era of anti-water prejudice is finally over. During a demo at EA's recent pre-E3 event, we got to see some of the game's new units, strategies and gameplay mechanics-in action on the battlefield, of course.
