Force Commander Review -- 4:35 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

What should I happen to get in my email box this morning but an message from Wraith (the maker of many mods for Shogo), offering to write a review of LucasArts' new real-time strategy game Force Commander. Quite naturally, I happily accepted. Here's a snip:

One thing that is immediately noticeable, however, is resource management. No more harvesting Crystals or whatever. You get Command points for capturing bunkers, winning battles, and the like. You use those Command points to purchase units. So . . . instead of a mad rush to capture the resources, the focus is on the gameplay. That was one of the major turn-offs for me with RTS games; I got sick of StarCraft fast, simply because I realized that I was spending most of the time farming, not killing. If I wanted a "farming" game, I'd buy something like "HogCraft: In Search Of Farmer Jones".

You can read his excellent review here. You can find this and all our reviews on our brand-spanking new reviews page! Thanks again to Wraith for a very sweet review.
