Game Review: Supreme Commander

[hetzakoatl]

Just to note, the game comes out on February 20th, 2007. I have been playing the beta version for a number of months now.

Ten years ago, a game came out that sparked a huge interest in real-time strategy games. There were revolutionary games before, but none like Total Annihilation. Openly modifiable, and in fact people were encouraged to do so

I'm a wee bit amused by the concept that the game is coming out on my birthday.

Excellent review.

TA was/is so much better than StarCraft, yet so many seem to like SC, while TA was kind of forgotten. TA:Kingdoms was... a dissapointment. but I've been looking forward to Supreme Commander (and I think they named it that just to take the SC short name from StarCraft) since it was hinted at. The pre-order has been in for months and I'm chomping at the bit.

Krogoth... mmmm The new battleships look fricken huge too.

StarCraft and Total Annihilation

Well, I won't go so far as to say TA is better than StarCraft. :P While StarCraft has it's quirks and drawbacks, TA had it's own share as well. StarCraft has a great storyline, it was rather remarkable when it came out, and multiplayer was and is a blast. While TA was more a "strategic" RTS game, StarCraft was more fun, I enjoyed it more. I have eagerly awaited news of StarCraft II, and if they ever make a "World of StarCraft", I shall be forever lost to the real world. :P

Rise of Nations... oh where have you been? You should be playing Warhammer, either the 40K one (Dawn of War and Dark Crusade expansion) or Mark of Chaos (Fantasy based, but actaully done ~good~). Rise of nations... pft. ;)

*grins* The different Warhammer games didn't make the cut. They offered nothing really new. :P
