    • Unreal Tournament

    Don’t remember which game specifically, but the moment when you’re escaping out if the bowels of a living planet is unforgettable. Also the game is overall kinda creepy, I had hard time playing it lol.

    • Borderlands 1/2

    More towards my mid-teens, found about borderlands. Played it through and through, found great people in borderlands forums, it introduced me to so many good songs that are at the top of my playlists to this day. Two very great games.

    • TF2

    Speaks for itself. There will never be a game remotely close to how good TF2 was. Even TF2 itself.

    Also some honorable mentions:

    • A strategy game where you play as a mech that goes nuclear when destroyed, name is long forgotten sadly
    • I’m Going In 2
    • Hitman Silent Assassin
    • Counter Strike 1.6/Source

    And only recently I discovered World of Warcraft, specifically Wrath of the Lich King. Don’t really have anyone to play with, but sometimes it’s fun tanking for the entire group of randoms. I really enjoy tanking, when I know where to lead the group to lol.

        Based on the dates of the other games listed, I think it’s more likely Total Annihilation. In fairness, Supreme Commander is a spiritual successor; there’s also Planetary Annihilation. And I’ll just leave this here in case it’s of interest…

      Total Annihilation.

      Supreme Commander as mentioned by others was the spiritual successor but I recall it didn’t fill the shoes of TA.

      I haven’t played this yet, but I’ve heard Beyond All Reason is a very good Total Annihilation-like: https://www.beyondallreason.info/
