    Supreme Commander

    Not too bad, not too good, Supreme commander. A review for those who have extensive RTS experience

    I wont bother boring you with what you can see in the screenshots but suffice it to say: Supreme commander is beautiful and sounds good, but it is nothing new for anyone who's played most RTS games under the sun. It's ... Read Full Review

    Medieval II: Total War

    Bugs and crashes mar, what is otherwise a very fun game.

    What is there to say? Well if you haven't played the first game (and I haven't) then coming to this game can seem like a breath of fresh air. Medieval 2 is a slower paced hybrid strategy game, on the main map your troop... Read Full Review

    Take supreme commander, go back in time and copy warcraft 3/starcraft 1 dumb it down for xbox 360 = supcom 2.

    As an expert RTS player and someone who has played every game for every system, I can say that supcoom 2 does not live up to Forged alliance's legacy. If you liked the first supreme commander but did NOT play forged all... Read Full Review

    This game can be played 1 or 2 Players. Ikaruga is one of those games you either love or hate from the very beginning. It will take you all of 5 to 10 minutes to get a feel for the game and whether you like it or not. ... Read Full Review
