For me it's first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they're open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that's stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

I've been playing Beyond All Reason, a free RTS that's like Supreme Commander or Total Annihilation. The game handles 8v8 team games quite well, I've never played on such large teams in a RTS game, it's fun.

I'll go check that out, but I recall I wasn't fond of the economy generation in Supreme Commander.

The economy is similar, but it's a little easier than sup com. Energy to metal converters are cheap and if you balance them right you wont waste metal or energy.

Thanks, if it's a little easier it might just be enough.
