    Supreme Commander and SC Forged Alliance are both excellent! Really insane RTS action. Battles will take hours, huge maps, huge everything basically. Would definitely recommend trying it out - although its not everyone's cup of tea.

    Supreme Commander 2 was dumbed down for mainstream audiences and isnt as good in my opinion.

    The reviews said that was one of the drawbacks of the huge battles- you spend most of the game zoomed out, looking at hundreds of tiny dots lol. Looks interesting anyway

    I've heard it's the spiritual successor to Total annihilation

    An excellent game series , however the skill cap and learning curve are second only to EVE Online. Be prepared to spend a looooot of time being owned. However the rewards are hefty and they are many

    Evolved you say? Dare I say devolved?

    There are some nice strategy games on the way. Have a look at Planetary annihilation which should be hitting stores some time in December.

    Also: http://www.greenmangaming.com/three-for/

    Search for Supreme commander 2, you can choose it and 2 other games from those pages and only pay $8.

    This quote was never answered, but XCOM enemy unknown is an epic game. It's very very close to being on par with the original games and that's basically as good as it can get these days I thoroughly enjoyed it and I secretly hope that they add a few things back from the original in the sequel (enemy within which is launching next month) - stuff like being able to loot bodies in game and being able to use engineering downtime to manufacture items and sell for cash.

    If you like the original R6 series have a look at Takedown red sabre which launched 2 or 3 weeks ago.

    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    From what I heard the game was completely broken with terrible AI on release day, haven't heard of any patches that came out that fixed the major issues that plagued it. So unless its now decent, I'm still waiting for it to be fixed, but yeah, when I heard about it I was pretty excited
