I seem to remember seeing Gemma Atkinson in the videos looking rather tasty

Played through the tutorials and first level last night and it looks good so far.

I really like the comic/cartoon feel to everything and the water looks absolutely on PC with all the detail levels ramped up to full.

And yes, there's cleavage and heaving bosoms all over the place.

I've gone off of all RTS' since playing Supreme Commander, every other game seems cramped and restricted compared to it. If i can't zoom all the way out to view the entire battlefield these days i start to twitch. One of my mates is well into C&C games so i'm sure i'll play it over his way at some point in the future.

Hmmm, co-commander is a nice touch for doing co-op play. However not sure about it in single player, run the risk of a game being crippled due to some kid. The computer player is ok when supporting you, I think I prefer being alone on missions.

Still I use him as fodder and then use my units to clean up. Its clearly just a tweaked cnc3 engine though. I have it at 1900*1200 on full everything with no issues.

My copy arrived yesterday. Only had chance to work through the tutorials and do the first soviet mission but looks good so far

I really wish I could play this, but I spent my computer money on the Jeep's tyres.

Not overly impressed with this at the moment. It's just not gripping me like RA and RA2 did - or even as C&C3 did

Done 4(?) missions as the soviets today and am wondering if I should start again as someone else and turn up the difficulty.

Seems to run better. Only been running it on my laptop at the moment. My desktop is getting a clean and a new graphics card.

CnC3 always had problems on an 8600gtm, RA3 seems fine in 1600x1200 - not at the highest settings though.
