That’s right: I finally received copies of The Settlers 6: Rise of an Empire and Supreme Commander, along with Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance for good measure! Last weekend I already got a chance to try out Supreme Commander for a bit and it’s definitely still as good as I remember from the demo, except now I can play it all maxed out with proper framerates! It’s awesome to see hundreds of units go at it on a giant battlefield - and the singleplayer campaign isn’t half bad either.

As for Settlers 6… I’ve installed it, but haven’t played it yet. I might get a multiplayer game in this weekend with Killer397 if we’re bored (he has it as well now). Hopefully it won’t be too disappointing and the combat will turn out to be at least semi-decent in this full version, because the demo kinda disappointed there. Ah well, even if it’s no fun in combat - I can always build some cool cities and watch my settlers go about whatever they do when settling new lands. That’s the main appeal of a Settlers game anyway.

However, for now it looks like I’ll mostly be sticking to Unreal Tournament 3, because the CTF Hosted Cup has started this week. While my clan DooZer doesn’t have any matches this week, we do have a match for ladder supremacy lined up for tomorrow and it can’t hurt to practice a bit, seeing as we’re in the 1st division up against some of the best clans in the scene. So for now I guess Supreme Commander and The Settlers 6 will have to be put on the backburner, alongside all those other games from 2007 (and before). Oh boy, I have a lot of catching up to do…

PS: Yay, I’m actively blogging again! And yes, you’ll be seeing a “best of 2007″-ish post soon enough, but it probably won’t be anything like you’ve seen on other blogs/sites
