Along comes Planetary Annihilation, fresh out of Kickstarter, looking to get a piece of the action. StarCraft 2 bestrides the world like an esports colossus, with one foot in Townsville, America and the other in the Cybertopian Republic of South Korea. Because I am a frail, fleshy human being whose idea of multi-tasking is using a fork AND a knife at the dinner table.

It is a brilliant, ludicrous RTS and I will probably never try to play it again. Just a deathly, speedy logic and a finger that clicks like a woodpecker’s beak. A cold, cybernetically enhanced supercomputer capable of thousands of thoughts per nanosecond. Planetary Annihilation is best enjoyed if you are a robot.
