VG-Reloaded Writes:
"It seems that the whole game has taken a backseat; it's not the great game that I remember playing last year...instead it feels more like a shadow of its former self. The game doesn't have any new content besides Live multiplayer and that has very little lag, although there were very few matches at the time of writing. There's just nothing about the game that jumps out, even with some bad games you can see the potential they were trying to achieve...but I can't even see that with this port."
"I think I've said it all; Supreme Commander on the 360 is a pitiful excuse for a port. It has annoying controls, awful graphics and just isn't that much fun to play. Stick to the PC version and keep away from this."
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."
those were fun years red alert star craft command and conquer well when westwood studio made good games before EA brought them like bioware...
Aside from C&C 4, the other C&C's from EA were all good/great. The genre nose dived once Moba's rose in popularity, even Petroglyph Games (ex-Westwood employees) haven't had a hit since Star Wars: Empire at War (2006), all there games got abandoned after launch.
