By the time I'm a withered old man, I expect to have 3D board games with battles that unfold similar to the scene presented in this Supreme Commander 2 image. It could be sorta like The Indian in the Cupboard, except with robots -- these are the things I spend time thinking about on a daily basis.
Since Gas Powered Games is doing the Xbox 360 port in-house in addition to the PC version, unlike the first Supreme Commander, I think we can expect good things.
Well, considering how it's an RTS on a console, maybe not "good things" necessarily, but certainly better things than last time when it launches this spring.
Make sure to look over the gallery, especially if you're a fan of large-scale robot fights.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Then again, Gearbox said they were designing Borderlands' PC interface in-house, too...
Oh and Robots.. Lots of robots, but I don't see a Monkey lord..
To be fair Supreme Commander is the spiritual successor to Total Annihilation in which the main combat infantry units, KBots, were 12' tall exo-suits.
Good times.
Of course my computer sobs whenever I even think about Supreme Commander.
Giant robots FTW!
