On the MAC II...eh sort of. Just the way every mech with the reverse bird-legs and big guns look like each other...Vulture, MAC II/III, and of course, there's the Stone Rhino from Mechwarrior II.
As for Supreme Commander v. other RTS. I like Supreme Commander, but not for the same reasons I like Starcraft. Starcraft is story driven to a large degree, and Blizzard always made me want to play that game to get to the other end of the story. Not necessarily for the strategy...well, honestly, it's not a ton of strategy (make all of the Zerg you can, and rush).
Supreme Commander was, for me, a game about just cranking out units until I could build a doomsday weapon and then nuke everything. It wasn't about story, nor, really strategy, but more about just ka-zillion's of units. But Supreme Commander always felt cold.
 Geeked out.

This thread will be 100 posts. Most of which will be nothing but people bitching about Fallout 3 being for a console, or how it's not Fallout 2, or Fallout.
Me? I liked Fallout Tactics.

At this point, does anybody take Sony seriously? Does anybody still think they have a clue?
Seriously, this is the perfect example: They're combating an 'A' list game release (no matter how you feel about Halo it's going to sell, sell, sell, and I will enjoy it)by a competitor with a possible hardware release. Of course, since they've admitted to it, it's probably false.
Dear Sony: if you want to sell consoles, you have to have games, not blu-ray movies that take 15 minutes to load.
I think the problem might be that Sony has absolutley no strategy.

I bought a Wii. I haven't touched it in months. There is one good game for it (Zelda, maybe Metroid). I am fast approaching the point where I think the Wii may be an incredibly over-hyped dissappointment.
Perhaps it's the control scheme that is overhyped, or maybe the inability of programmers to utilize it.

Has Ridley Scott done anything relevant since Blade Runner and the 9,000 different Director's Cut Editions?
And, you know, HD DVD might just pull this out. If they hit the $200 price point first, and the dicontent that seems to be occuring over Blu-Ray with some studios (hard to write for, low production yields) continues to grow. There just might be a winner in this largely irrelevant format war.

Hmm. I'm sure Sony will have a couple good games for PS3 by the end of its 7 year life-cycle.
Then again, when was PS3 ever a game console? It was a "computer." And now, sadly, it's a Blu-Ray player and DVR.
We could probably just start calling it "3DO."
And this isn't good news for PS3. It's an exclusive, but it seems like it has attained that status because UBI wants to cut its losses.
And if you really want to talk about the state of the PS3, you can just check out how well received the BIG summer exclusives were. WARHAWK (wasn't that a release title?) is pulling in an exceedingly average 84% at gamerankings.com...and LAIR is being panned. Wasn't LAIR one of the big attractions for Sony at E3? Well, in both cases, it appears a huge negative is Sony's motion control system. Oops.

When I decided not to buy Vista. A true story.
Once upon a time, before Vista was released, and during MS's press blitz, I remember reading some article about how the Vista developers were really delivering on what Vista Beta testers wanted. In fact, they gave an example. A woman was saying that she really liked Vista especially the photo viewer (I think). But, to send a picture, or something, she had to go into a tab and click. Instead, she wanted a button that would do it all in one press. Vista engineers added this button. The woman was so happy that she said, in the article, that that button was there because of her. At this point, I thought to myself: "Self, if the guys building Vista are incorporating every suggestion from every Tom, Dick, and Harry in order to make people feel part of the whole Vista thing, this is going to be the most bloated, inefficent, designed by committee OS ever."
MS needs to take a sit back and figure out what the fundamental requirements are for an OS. Something minimilis which me add the components I want. Not shiny trinkets, and a button to look at pictures. I'll be keeping XP for a LONG time apparently.
Sometimes, I miss DOS.
