Supreme commander, the best RTS game to ever hit the PC since Starcraft (or Total Annihilation for some) will be released on the console as well. Chris Taylor, the master behind the engineering and concept of the game said that they are now developing console versions for supreme commander, The first of which is for the Xbox 360. Chris also hints that they will be releasing the games on other console platforms as well.


Supreme Commander humbled lot of mid range PCs because it’s only playable on mid-high to high-end PCs. It may sound ambitious for Gas powered games to unleash this power-hungry game on consoles but it’s something that everyone would like to see. If they manage to pull it off, it could be the renaissance of RTS gaming on the console.

We recall that Manhunt 2 has faced controversies even before it got released. Banned in Australia for gory scenes and raised a couple of politician eyebrows, Rockstar was forced to make a toned down version of the game. But the unedited version wasn’t really scrapped in oblivion like what the authorities expected. The unedited version of the Manhunt 2 Ps2 game has been leaked and distributed to the internet since September. According to Rockstar games, they have identified the suspect and “sacked” him/her.

[Rockstar] accepts the game was leaked onto the web by an employee of a different company who had access to the preview copy. That person has been sacked.

The “Different company” that Rockstar was referring to is Sony, thus freeing Rockstar of any suspicion of trying to get the unedited version across to the public for fame’s sake.

[The leak] was an illegal criminal activity on the part of an employee of a company that happened to have access to the code. That person, without naming names, has been sacked and proceedings are taking place.

Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that a former employee of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has acknowledged his responsibility for the unauthorized online distribution of an unrated play-test version of Manhunt 2 submitted for the European PAL PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.
