Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

New video and screens show off the Cybran units

The latest media barrage has been fired from THQ's PR cannon, this time deploying screens, movies - and oh yes; words, detailing the new units for the Cybran faction in Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. To see the screens you should click on this link, but we've got the movie just a bit further down this page.

We recently traveled to Gas Powered Games in Redmond to play the expansion (can't talk about that yet) and will have plenty more to tell you about that in due time. For now you'll have to be satified with the new gameplay trailer we've posted on this here page.

Until we can tell you more, here's the Cybran run-down:
