Supreme Commander : RTS awesomness.

When I saw a couple of videos of the upcoming Sup Comm with it's Strategic zoom, I was not very impressed.I was never a big RTS fan, so said to myself; yet another age of empires with a little more meat around the bone right?, wrong!
This game is simply the best RTS I have ever played, not to say that Company of heroes is not awesome. You can zoom from a map to close battle, almost firs person like.
Everything is subtle, the graphics are amazing even when those little troops explode it's something to look at.
You choose between three factions, each one has it's own upgradeable commander.You have a lot, I mean a lot of units to work with especially when you level up.You have got to experience a nuke; it fills your whole (or both) screen with an atomic like explosion, pretty awesome to look at.
Even the sound in a RTS has never been this good especially if you own a 5/7.1 system, you can hear every unit move every explosion from upclose and the more you zoom out the more you can hear.
This game supports dual screen setups, although if you have a widescreen monitor you can have one side the strategic map and your upclose combat on the other.
Try the demo you'll want it, I guarantee it!
If you have a dual (quad) core this game will take it as it is multithreaded.
I suggest having at least 1 gig of ram, 2 is better
A dual core and a Radeon X1800 and up
Nvidia 7800 and up for a good sup com experience

+ Gorgeous graphics and revolutionizing gameplay.
Gives a new breath to the genre.

- System hog. no tutorials.
