This Week: Games

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

War game in a modern setting. You can shoot a gun, drive a vehicle, play with others and wander around an open environment. Sounds exciting. If you are looking for a game fitting this description and haven't purchased one in a while, I would recommend Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Supreme Commander 2

I attended a GDC session with one of the lead designers behind Gas Powered Games. He proved to be entertaining and witty; touching on subjects like work ethic, drive and (dare I say) retaining dignity in the video game industry. It does seem like you need to sell your soul and waste your life to work as a VG professional. It must have some perks, right? I checked out the first Supreme Commander based solely on this experience. I couldn't stand it. I like me some RTS games and still think some of the features are brilliant, but couldn't manage to keep myself entertained. I haven't heard to much buzz about the sequel, but if you are a fan of the genre pick this one up. It is probably awesome.
