If there's one race that always feels like it’s getting the worst of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, it's the Imperial Guard. There are a lot of them but most are badly trained, ready to flee at the first sight of xenos and easy prey for all manners of enemies of the Imperium.
Dawn of War II managed to er... |

As I was writing my review of Dawn of War II, I kept putting off taking up the missions that close the campaign and I took all the side ones that opened up, dealing with the Eldar Avatar and with the Ork WarBoss, which had been manipulated into fighting on Calderis. Those were rather tough missions, but allowed me to... |

Early on in Dawn of War II, when you learn that you will be fighting and dying on three planets, Relic introduces an Infestation mechanic.

You have to appreciate Relic’s guts. In the original Dawn of War, it had a beautiful game, which generated three successful expansion packs, played nice in multiplayer, provided epic battles and was quickly enshrined in the Hall of Fame of RTS games. It had it all: base building, teching up, a lot of unit types... |

I speculated on Tuesday, after about 12 hours worth of playtime spent with Dawn of War II, that the whole title, despite the Tyranid threat, could be seen as some sort of videogaming equivalent of Saving Private Ryan. Davian Thule, hurt by the Hive Tyrant, is Ryan, and your band of Space Marines brothers have to go t... |

I admit to not finishing Dawn of War II yet.

I loved the original Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. The guys from Relic managed to deliver a real time strategy that changed the way both developers and players looked at the medium.

Developers need to get rid of the demo.

Still, developers seem to ... |

Last night I was pawned, repeatedly and without mercy, no less than three times by players using the same strategy.
