"For starters, Supreme Commander is a hardcore strategy game and perhaps the most intense RTS ever brought to consoles. And if you're reading this, you're more than likely just looking for our impressions of the control scheme and how things translate across to this platform. In short, it's quite complex. It's no keyboard and mouse, but for those who lack the PC hardware, this Xbox 360 port will be a logical alternative if you've wanted to play SupCom. Just prepare for a three to four hour learning curve."
From Xfire: "VR still has massive untapped potential, but finally the medium is starting to become more mainstream - here are some IPs that should make the leap."
VGChatz's Taneli Palola: "There's no question that during these years the overall popularity of the genre took a significant hit, as most games within it specialized even further by adding new elements from other types of games into their gameplay loops and consequently became increasingly niche as the years wore on.
However, this doesn't in any way mean that the period was devoid of great games. Quite the contrary, in fact. Arguably some of the greatest RTS titles ever made came out around this time, and much of this was because many developers were increasingly familiar and comfortable with adding new twists and gameplay elements to the familiar formula. As such, even when the genre's popularity dwindled, many studios were still creating excellent and groundbreaking titles almost every year, just for a smaller audience than in years past."
