all your base are bellong to Mr Sulu

Today on this very site I came across an advert for Command and Concour 3 featuring the villain from Tomorrow Never Dies, Long John Silver from Muppet Treasure Island, J Jonah Jameson, the Russian scientist from Armageddon, Mr Sulu and some very attractive lady girls telling everyone to dance immediately.
If you haven't seen it, you can watch it bellow this sentence
And I'll go ahead and say that I don't like it, and here's why;
Reason 1: It looks cheap, camp and too self knowing. Who wants a military game full of innuendo and zany characters? You want tough talking, grizzled military figures with overblown racist opinions of the other factions.
Reason 2: Instead of encouraging you to dance, they should be ordering to blow shit up! They should be slinging all sorts of threats back and forth at each other and using too much military lingo. And all of that would be inter cut with game play footage of tanks and planes, explosions, nukes, troops shooting the shit out of each other and general C&C carnage!
Reason 3: Mr Sulu saying "All your base are belong to us." Purlease! I like a geeky nod to internet culture as much as the next girlfriendless social reject, but all that "All your base" shit died a couple of years ago. The internet moves quickly and we forget about the current fad and wait for the next Numa Numa guy or Star Wars Kid. Plus, from what I remember of other C&C games the idea wasn't to capture the enemy base but to destroy it completely leaving no evidence of their existance.
After that I have not idea how to end this, so i'll just stop typing.
