Game of the Year (February 16, 2007 - August 20, 2007)
Oh, how we love Supreme Commander. Its lightning-fast pace and emphasis on balancing economy and massive unit production makes for an entirely new kind of strategy game. Where most RTSes have focused on smaller and smaller conflicts, Supreme Commander is strategy writ large. Instead of taking 10 units to battle, you command 1,000 minions on a map 10 times larger than those of any other RTS. Now that’s maximum!

The I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK Award
Forget the gorgeous graphics and repetitive combat for a moment and remember your first time. It’s just you and your machine gun, alone in the jungle. You tentatively lift your rifle, gently nestling its butt against your shoulder. Your finger caresses the trigger as you align the target in your sights and slowly… slowly… slowly pull the trigger. Bang. It’s over.
If you’re like us, we’re sure you’ll never forget your first time. Your first time shooting down a tree.

Best Lyrics in a Closing Credits Song
Capping off an absolutely magical game with this hilarious ditty (specially written for the game by Jonathan Coulton - look him up!) is the win. We’ll let the lyrics speak for themselves.
| This was a triumph! I’m making a note here: “HUGE SUCCESS!!” It’s hard to overstate Aperture Science: For the good of all of us. But there’s no sense crying I’m not even angry... |
Now, these points of data make a beautiful line. And we’re out of beta. We’re releasing on time! So I’m GLaD I got burned— Think of all the things we learned—for the people who are still alive. Go ahead and leave me... Anyway this cake is great! Look at me: Still talking I’ve experiments to run. |
