Supreme Commander (PC) ... real-time strategy connoisseurs, 1997’s Total Annihilation is more than a match for its better known rivals. This is the long awaited, unofficial, follow-up by Chris Taylor, creator of the original. As in Total Annihilation you don’t take the role of a nameless overseer, but instead you directly control a giant nanobot dispensing robot responsible for building all major buildings. From these are manufactured a dizzying array of specialised meachanoids, from infantry and artillery robots to repair droids and special construction bots. The units in the original Total Annihilation ranged greatly in size but here the difference is profound. While many units are roughly human in scale others seem to be the size of a small village, as gigantic spider bots stroll through forests as if they were walking through tall grass. Aircraft carriers are just as massive and function properly as mobile cities with repair and production facilities. The game’s scale is reinforced even further by the new ability to zoom the camera so far out that individual units become icons on an overhead map. This is no gimmick though as you can still control multiple units on this new strategic scale, as well as deploy nuclear missiles and other weapons of mass destruction.

Maybe I'm just rubbish but I had one skirmish match that I played for literally weeks as it had got to a point where both armies were so huge that we couldn't break down the defences of the other, even with the enormous 'experimental units' (which are great). However, the techniques they use to help you manage all of these units does work extremely well and it is rarely that you feel unable to cope with their management. It does t...more

Premium Review Supreme Commander (PC): Not as supreme as we were led to believe (670 words)

Supreme Commander is the new offering from Chris Taylor, the man behind the classic real time strategy (RTS) game Total Annihilation. There was a huge hype frenzy surrounding this game, as can only be expected when the man behind the best RTS ever get back into the game. The game is set in the far future, and mankind has split into 3 factions, The United Earth Federation (UEF), who represent humans who are still loyal to the Earth Empire, The Cybran nation, who are all cyborgs and are linked to Artificial Intelligences, and finally the Aeon Illuminate, who are followers of an alien religion. In single player mode, there is a campaign for each of the ...  Read the complete review

The Long awaited and much publicized Supreme Commander, Was in my eyes a slight disappointment. After the first previews of this game i was interested in its progress to release date i read previews watched movies of in game play and with comments like the next generation of RTS game, sets a new benchmark in the Genre i was eager to play for myself. While i was disappointed in what i had expected of the game it was in no way a bad game in fact it was a very good game with some unique and new features to the genre. Pro's: Now as i said as a game this is very good and one of the best in its genre but i think the main reason i was disappointed ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Supreme Commander (PC): Groundbreaking (2053 words)

Rating:

Games like Supreme Commander, it is safe to say, do not come around very often. The enormous hype, anticipation, and mass hysteria that has surrounded this game since its announcement is a testament to its rarity. After a few years of no real improvement and few new benchmarks, real-time strategy needed a game like Supreme Commander. It needed it not just to push the boundaries, but to shove them violently to the wayside in a moment of awesome gaming splendour, mocking the memory of everything that has come before, and setting the standard for years to come. In its size and scale, this game is groundbreaking; in its visual quality and presentation, it is ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Supreme Commander (PC): Supreme Commander:Lives up to the hype? Definately (482 words)

Rating:

This game once released met mixed reviews thorughout the player community. For a game which was praised highley by well known review sites such IGN and Gamespot, also winning 6 Awards for the 'Best Strategy Game of E3 2006'. This game failed to meet eye to eye with every gamer. The game offers the player three 'unique' factions to play from which are, The united Earth Federation (a Human race..well like u really), the Aeon illuminate (These are the religious fanatics of the game) and lastly the Cybran Nation (a robot race looking for their independance). Once you have pickd your side, get your strategy book out as this game demands a higher level of thinking, ...  Read the complete review
