Advantages: Excellent Graphically.
Disadvantages: Requires high end PC to run, is almost Identical to Total Annihilation

...now. This being the case, Supreme Commander should blow all competition out of the water. Does it? Sadly not. Supreme commander is the latest offering from Chris Taylor, the genius behind Total Annihilation. However, it seems to me that he's a one trick pony, unable to break away from his previous success. I'm a great fan of Total annihilation, I've sat and played the game for hours on end without a break, determined to crush my opposition, I've ...
...was up for offer in Supreme Commander. Not much is the simple answer. The game itself plays almost identically to Total annihilation, the units are almost identical. A new name and shiny new graphics does not a new unit make, and especially not a new game. Even the story is basically the same, "thousand year war, stalemate, battle for supremacy, etc etc" Don't get me wrong, I expected similarities, what I didn't expect was identicalness. You can ...

Advantages: Excellent realism and graphics. Faithful to WWII
Disadvantages: Enemies can be irritatingly hard to pin down, dodgy tank AI

Company of Heroes (CoH) is a World War 2 Real Time Strategy (RTS) game from THQ and Relic, the makers of the brilliant and multi-award-winning Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series. The game puts you in charge of three companies of the US Army, fighting from D-Day up until the German forces are driven from France. You can also play as the Germans in skirmish mode or online. GAMEPLAY Basic gameplay is much the same as many other RTS offerings - you ...
...sometimes in command of Fox Company (Airborne), sometimes Able Company (Infantry) and sometimes Dog Company (Armoured). It has its moments of brilliance - D-Day just as dramatic as it should be, as well as a desperate last stand on a hill, a night fight with Fox Company scattered across the map by the wind and so on. But the missions quickly become repetitive - go here, blow that up, take that point, shoot him etc. GRAPHICS CoH uses the "Essence ... Read review

Advantages: Exellent detail, battles are extremely fun especially over multiplayer, excellent campaigns, with many faction choices.
Disadvantages: Un-realistic battle effects and some square graphics.

This is a brilliant experience and is well worth buying! The game has loads of different modes to be played in including online and offline multiplayer games. Single player has a custom battle mode where you can create your own battle with whatever factions, wheather conditions, settlement levels, etc...just about anything you like! There is a historical battle mode where you can relive and re-fight great battles from the past including the seige ...
...river Telamon, and many more! My favourite mode is the Imperial Campaigns, with its highly detailed highly interactive and rather relaxing world map, where you move about the armies that you have trained over time and attack and take control of famous sites like, Rome, Sparta, Alexandria, etc... There is 50 cities and lands to take control of and build up your empire on. You can build many types of buildings from a wide variety and train an army ... Read review

Advantages: Great compilation of games

...been a fan of the command and conquer series for years, and I was thrilled when i heard this collection had been released. I rushed out to get it within days of release and was overjoyed as i got to play all of the classic C&C games that i hadn' played for a very long time. It is clear to see from this game the huge improvements that have been made over the past 10 years and with new games such as Command and Conquer 3, kanes wrath and Red Alert ... Read review
