Another different platform this week as well as a game genre I haven't covered before. This week I played three RTS games for the PC.
Total Annihilation: A game I've loved for years and one I keep returning to but have never completed. It was a ground-breaking game back in the day and it still holds up well to games much younger than it. I found playing the game to be just as enjoyable as it always was, though there are some noticeable bugs. One being that I'd completed a mission by escorting a certain unit back to my base but the game still carried on. Eventually, after a while of waiting for the game to end, I realised the game hadn't decided the unit was in my base, so I had to get it to wander around a bit more.
Total Annihilation: Kingdoms: Not quite a "sequel" (or even a prequel) to the original TA, but they're still related (if only in certain gameplay elements). Just as fun as the original and at times even more so (like the level where you just get given a pack of dragons are told to go kill whatever you can find). However, it doesn't hold quite the place in my heart that the original TA does, so it will sadly always come second.
Supreme Commander: Often seen as the "spiritual successor to the original TA game (as they were both designed by Chris Taylor). Unfortunately, a lot has changed in the world of games and PC hardware in the near-decade between the two games. This means I was unable to install SC as I didn't have enough space on my laptop's hard drive. Sadly, this game shall have to wait.
