built 179 days ago
Supreme Commander is set in the distant future, and humanity has split into three competing factions. The United Earth Federation represents order and empire, the cybernetic Cybran fight for independence, while the alien-enlightened Aeon seek to liberate the universe. The single-player campaign is divided into three smaller campaigns, letting you battle from the perspective of each of the factions. Unlike those in most other RTS games, where all three campaigns would usually be tied together in a linear fashion to tell a bigger story, the campaigns in Supreme Commander all stand alone. Each faction fights for what it believes in, and hence, no side is really "evil." It's a nice touch, because that mentality captures the essence of war.

The first step into the Supreme Commander single-player campaign involves siding with one of the available factions: UEF (United Earth Federation), the Cybran and the Aeon Illuminate. Each faction fights for its own cause and influence in the galaxy. Conquering planets is essential to the success of your faction and almost each mission will revolve around gaining control over crucial territories. Each of the campaigns portrays central characters that bestow you with duties as you go along. Rather than placing you into the role of faction leaders, the game adequately fits you into the suit of an ACU, or Armored Command Unit. The ACU is, quite literarily, the single most important unit on the battlefield.

Supreme Commander rose from the ruins of 3 prolific and hardworking DC punk bands. In the winter of 2005, ex- members of Latchkey, Wake Up Cold and the Daycare Swindlers convened. With the experience of thousands of shows, a slew of releases and a firm knowledge of what it takes to keep a band productive, Supreme Commander hit the rehearsal studio and began building a catalog of loud, fast, melodic hardcore. Comparisons to Dag Nasty, Gorilla Biscuits and Pennywise were drawn. Two Man Advantage were forged from the punk rejects of all the other teams, a group of individuals came together to form the deadliest machine ever to grace the ice. With a total commitment to hockey, beer, and punk rock,Two Man Advantage was born kicking and screaming into a savage, hostile environment with sticks swinging. This split 7" will be their first release in 5 years.

Regarding its 2007 release into the real-time strategy realm of computer gaming, Supreme Commander is reminiscent of lead developer Chris Taylor's breakthrough project of a decade earlier. With its cutting-edge graphics and balanced gameplay, Taylor's Total Annihilation is generally considered the first successful real-time strategy game in true 3D. By relating each base and battlefield in an realistic, relevant, global way, Supreme Commander ... aims to introduce significant new aspects of play to the style. As innovative as it aims to be, the game also embraces many comfortable conventions, offering intuitive control to practiced PC strategists. Single-player campaigns follow an original but familiar futuristic story line that pits three very different factions against one another, each fighting righteously for a cause it deems vital to its very survival. ~ T.J.

The first review of Supreme Commander was written by Dan Stapleton of PC Gamer. He praised the versatility of the strategic zoom, and expressed his loathing of the next game that wouldn't feature it. The dual-screen mode was highly regarded, the mission design was praised, and the emotional presence of the story was ... recognized. However, a few points were docked due to the general lack of diverse unit types, and the game's system requirements. It received a PC Gamer Editor's Choice Award with a score of 91%.
