I dig C&C3, it's not as large or as deep as SupCom, but it's fast paced and fun. Kanes Wrath is a great addition also.

I take it you've played the SupCom addition also?

There are tons out there, what else have you played? If you're interested in space based ones, Sins of a Solar Empire is pretty entertaining, set the play speed all the way to fastest tho.

For FPS, have you gotten Combat Arms? It doesn't have the production qualities and yes it's online, but it's fun and has weapons and customizations that can add strategy to gameplay, overall very fun game, especially considering it's free.
