"great, yet another futuristic strategy game. Sorry, just not my type..."

Brilliant game, much better than C&C "arcade" tripe. I haven't played SC/FA with the 8800GT, but I have a similar base system and it slowed down a fair bit (FA) Should be ok at 1680x1050 but I would't use any AA. Lower shadows also.

Likewise, I find FS-X a snorefest..

Got the SC:FA game run at maxed, no AA and low shadows. Can't tell the dif with AA on anyways. The only time a get stutters is when I am in a Skirmish with 8 AI teams.

I grew quite fond of strategy games for awhile. I still like them, heck I still have the old ones from Windows 95. Grin FPS for me at the moment. Cool

My parents are very strict on what I play...I own only two T rated games: Super Smash bros. Brawl and Melee which just happen to be Nintendo's best masterpieces Grin


I hate Zelda
