Age of Empires II vs Supreme Commander 2
Age of Empires II
Age of Empires II is, despite being a sequel, a classic real-time strategy game from the crtically-accalaimed game franchise, Age of Empires. The graphics in the game has been reworked to pull it up to level with modern graphics, but the content of the game is essentially the game. Choose one of 18 unique civilizations to play with and dominate the map by eliminating your enemies or by other means, depending on the goals of the match. You can even play the game with other players from all around the world on Steam via the game's multiplayer mode.If you enjoy classic real-time strategy, Age of Empires II is a game you wouldn't want to miss. It may not be the original "first" game, but since the revamped Age of Empires 1 has yet to arrive (1 more month to go), you might as well brush up on your skills by playing the sequel first!
Supreme Commander 2
Supreme Commander 2 is the exciting sequel to the popular real-time strategy game franchise. In this game, players will get to create massive armies under the banner of one of the three different factions, namely The United Earth Federation (UEF), the Cybran Nation and the Illuminate. The game's campaign details the storyline of three commanders from different factions, letting you experience an engaging storyline behind each commander's reasons that drive them in this seemingly endless war. Players get to also customize every unit they recruit, including experimental units with hidden skills that can be unlocked via research. Best yet, everything feels faster than the previous game.Like the previous game, the multiplayer aspect of Supreme Commander 2 can be rather lacking unless you've got friends to play the game with. That said, this is still a pretty nice follow-up in the game series and is a must-buy for fans of the original.
