Supreme Commander 2 – Xbox 360 (2010)

Welcome to the RTS that laughs in the face of small-scale battles. Supreme Commander 2 hands you the keys to a war machine the size of a zip code and says, “Go break everything.” Build nukes, send in spider-bots the size of city buses, and casually obliterate entire factions like it’s just another Tuesday.

1. System: Xbox 360 (2010 release; plays on newer consoles if they’re in the mood).
2. Gameplay: Full-scale real-time strategy with tactical zoom, base-building chaos, ridiculous tech trees, and unit spam so aggressive it’ll crash a 2008 Dell.
3. Vibes: Maximum overkill, nerdy warlord fantasies, passive-aggressive resource hoarding, and the emotional high of watching your enemy’s base go up in flames while you whisper “should’ve tech’d up faster.”

Fully playable offline with a solo campaign and local skirmishes. Online play available if you enjoy digital humiliation and aggressive teabagging from guys named xXx420NoScopexXx.

Whether you’re into overcompensating with giant robots or just love turning tactical warfare into a petty grudge match, Supreme Commander 2 belongs in your Retro Games eXchange catalog. Add it to your shelf—and then flatten someone else’s.
