Chaos Rising is just about everything you'd expect from a Dawn of War expansion, boasting terrific gameplay, visuals, and effects, and adding a great new campaign, a well-developed new faction, and new war gear, heroes, and multiplayer options. Given the shorter campaign, the $30 price tag may seem a bit high; however, Chaos Rising's replay value more than justifies the cost. Remember: As long as the enemies of the emperor still draw breath, there can be no peace.
"This week when I was scrolling through my Steam library for a game to play I was stumped, until I found a mod which brought fresh air to an old classic. The game was the legendary Dawn of War series by Relic. The Dawn of War expansions; Winter Assault, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm along with other stand-alone titles like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, give the universe the justice it rightly deserved."
The Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War franchise is free to play this weekend and to celebrate Relic have added some new content. From September 24 10AM PDT through to September 27 1PM PDT, Dawn of War I and II, plus all expansions, are free to play on Steam.

"So Relic, one of my favorite developers in the industry has just turned 15 today."
Happy Birthday! Love the Company of Heroes franchise and am eagerly awaiting the sequel!
I'll never forget Homeworld 1 (the overall experience) and the intro cinematic for Dawn of War 1. It's like embedded into my brain!
