   We may have been bitching about the humongous size of demo versions lately (and rightly so, I still believe). But when the label reads "Supreme Commander", we're more than willing to turn a blind eye and welcome this new, 1.1 GB demo for Gas Powered Games' latest project. The package is available for download locally, and it lets you play an early section of the Cybran Nation single-player campaign in Supreme Commander, along with one skirmish map - called "Finn's Revenge" - with three difficulty levels.

   In the included readme file, Chris Taylor greets the fans with the following note:
"Supreme Commander was more than a labor of love; it was the completion of a journey we started a long time ago and was a game that we've wanted to make for a very long time. To see the game complete is an incredible reward for us, especially because it delivers many of the goals we set for ourselves back in 2003. And now the journey is complete, and we will soon embark on another. From all of us here at GPG and the SupCom team, to all of you, we hope Supreme Commander brings you many hours of entertainment and delivers a new and exciting experience. And most of all, we hope it's everything you had hoped it would be... we worked very hard to make that happen.

All the best!"    Actual production on Supreme Commander may have started in 2003, but I'm sure that Chris Taylor has been envisioning it for a very long time prior to that. After all, he left Cavedog back in 1998, soon after the Core Contingency expansion pack was released for his most acclaimed game to date - Total Annihilation. I wonder if that's about to change...

   As you may know, Supreme Commander has already reached Gold status last month, and the final version should be on store shelves in less than two weeks - on February 16 in Europe, and February 20 in North America. Between now and then, let there be more speculation about GPG's next project!
