What is this nonsense? Am I playing something other than shooters? Of course! Aside from STGs, my second huge vice are the RTS. Another genre that suffered a lot the "consolification" but got kind of "revived" (or put in semi-stasis) thanks to Starcraft 2, another game I play a whole damn lot.

The demo doesn't make the game justice, nor the trailers I saw. Don't trust the demo, really.

Forgive me the unfitting music, I tend to put discs like that while playing, heh. Sometimes much worse music like super-soft soothing piano or relaxing stuff.

This is quite a disorganised montage of skirmish battles using overpowered arsenals and some naval action.

The end of the video can be resumed as "there is no kill like overkill". You just don't let the enemy build 7 nukes and actually LAUNCH them all...

I got  Supreme Commander 2 while it was on a special offer sale a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it a lot. You can tell from the high orbit that the game has been quite dumbed down to fit the console masses and this hurt the game a lot (it got zero promotion, got its price kicked down several time from $60 to a special offer of $3.75 on Nov. 28th! All in eight months, insane), especially for those who played the previous entries of the series, which are even greater in scope.

I can tell it's not perfect but, well, it does runs perfectly on my computer (dodgy fps during this recording are due to the high resolution and the fact that I forced high on all the settings while punishing my poor hardrive with 6gb+ recordings) and I slowly found it a bit more enjoyable than some of the recent Starcraft 2 matches where all you get is cheese and QQ.

If we take into account the infamous "value for money", I have to say $8.50 usd for a quite lengthy (but terribly acted aside from the Cybran talking brain, that guy was awesome) campaign and a nice multiplayer (where skirmishing against the AI with other people is surprisingly fun!) was well worth it.

Not a perfect game, some of the stuff I'm showing here (a 3 player Free For All match and a 1v1 against the AI) like the nukes and the artillery are the flashiest and most awesome I have seen since Ground Control and Homeworld, but are incredibly overpowered if they catch you off guard. Especially when you have 15 artillery pieces raining death on your base from the other side of the continent in Seraphim Isles.

If anything, I would buy it to support Gas Powered Games (not Square-Enix really, they barely release anything for PC...) because I want to see a huge, bigger, deeper and greater Supreme Commander 3.

Oh, this is my first HD video as well. Gotta thank the high resolutions available since, for me, I got stuck back in 2001 where the biggest resolution I could run was 1024x768 and max fps at 1600x1200 was everyone's dream.
