Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War (PC)

There is a cry of surprise and out of nowhere comes a series of crunching explosions as drop pods crash to the surface of the planet. As the ramps crash into the dirt there is a fierce cry – “Space Marines, ATTACK!” – and suddenly fire is blazing in all directions. Pulling out blades the size of their forearms the Space Marines of the Blood Ravens Chapter charge yelling into ranks of green skinned Orks, laying about them to left and right, supported from behind by thundering heavy bolter fire, a Dreadnought smashing enemies aside and laying down a wall of lead from its assault cannon. Let me freeze the frame. If blood is not your thing, look away now, ...  Read the complete review

Dawn of War is a brilliant strategy game with good graphics interesting game play. It is based on the popular hobby of warhammer 40,000 made by Games Workshop. If you have no idea what Games Workshop is than i will give you the basics. In 40,000(Its set in the year 40,000 hence the name) you can be a variety of races of humans or aliens like Space Marines, Eldar, Tau (Which I was when I was young), Orks and Chaos Marines. There are two expansion packs called Winter Assault and Dark Crusade and they include more teams like the Imperial Guard and Necrons. Plus there is a special surprise at the end of both of the campaigns which i wont ruin for you! The ...  Read the complete review

It is a universally held view that no one has ever made a good Warhammer 40,000 PC title. Many have tried, yet all have failed. Every 40K player and PC owner knows the vast level of crossover potential that could be established between the tabletop turned based game and the desktop machine, but every concept created so far had fallen flat on it’s face. Chaos Gate, Final Liberation, Rites of War and Fire Warrior can all be described in two words – utter arse! How such a wonderful concept as 40K, with its tremendous back-story on the Imperium, ready-made armies, vehicles, weaponry, heroes, adversaries and combat structures, remained a fistful of poorly implemented gaming ...  Read the complete review

Y'know, as much as I wanted to write and say that this is the first game that Games Workshop have got right...it's not. Games Workshop actually have a long history of high quality computer games, but perhaps this is the first one that I can say is successful. Dawn of War places you primarily in command of the Blood Ravens chapter of the Adeptus Astartes Space Marines. You take command of a small army of super human, power armoured, chainsword wielding warriors. The game also features options for playing as Chaos Space Marines, Eldar, and Orks - all of whom morally oppose your own Space Marine forces. Dawn of War comes with both single and multi ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, Dawn of War isn't the best RTS I've ever played, but its damn close of getting there.The game concept is same as any other RTS game I played, build a base, accumulate tons of resources, build an overwhelming army before the other team and point and click to the enemy base and let your army rampage towards your enemy. If you ever played its predecessor, the Warhammer which is based on the fantasy realm, with elves, dwarfs and such.The difference is that Warhammer 40,000 is based on the future, with space marines and weird alien forces to contend with. This game allows you to play with four of the more well known futuristic races. They are: The ...  Read the complete review
