I've recently played Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl and Supreme Commander. I loved C&C3 and am still plowing through the GDI campaign. I also loved STALKER and played it nonstop until I beat it. Apparently there are seven different endings that you can get, depending on what you do throughout the game. Excellent AI and nice graphics.
Supreme Commander was the odd one out in this trio. I didn't find the graphics too appealing and the camera is horrible. I'm not a fan of the top down view at all, so this was hell for me. Also, no mini map. I understand that I can scroll all the way out and see the world view, but I much prefer being able to glance down and see the action from a mini map. I don't want to have to leave the scene of a battle just to check the world view. I also thought the maps themselves sucked. The terrain detail is pretty shoddy and it hardly looks like you're actually fighting on a planet rather than just a flat green colored thing with trees randomly thrown on. The unit controls were annoying to me as well. I really couldn't play this game for more than 15 minutes before I wanted to uninstall it. So I did.
