Supreme Commander 2 box art reminds me of Transformers photo

Unless videogame box art is something truly outrageous, artsy, or so bad it rolls into good territory, it can be hard to talk about. The cover artwork for Supreme Commander 2 is exactly none of those things, so you just know you're in for a riveting story here.

It does its job in that it says "this is a game about machines fighting other machines. Things will explode, and, uh, the game is published by Square Enix, oddly enough." I find it kind of funny and even a tad bit strange that the game is rated E10+.

What, is robot violence not "real" enough to dictate a Teen rating? Yeah, you're probably right. I almost think Gas Powered Games should've taken an in-game screenshot from Supreme Commander 2, made sure it was the right dimensions for proper box art, and called it a day.

This could've made for classy box art.

I kid you not, I started scrolling down for something further down the page, and as soon as I scrolled past that article I took one QUICK glance at the header image and immediately though to myself, "Oh God, not another shitty Transformers game!"

I would like to care about this game. Unfortunately, I don't possess the supercomputer that will inevitably be required to play it.

Supercomputer? They actually optimized it properly this time. And supercomputers that run the first game are now mid-range PCs anyway.
