This was my first exposure to Supreme Commander and I immediately felt right at home with it. Borrowing a lot from Total Annihilation may be the reason for that. It has solid base-building and good balance with the maps and factions - there's plenty of resources and the battles rely on skill and planning. The campaign is solid, if not underwhelming, but the multiplayer is awesome. Grab some friends and battle it out on a good selection of maps. I never played Forged Alliance, so maybe I have nothing to compare it to and be disappointed by. However, my friends and I had a blast with this one so give it a shot.
