Warhammer 40,000 is a daunting game to say the least. Maybe it's the epic battle scenarios, the apocalyptic storylines or the big number attached to the name, but something about it just seems to exude epic in generous amounts. The strategy game is coming to the Sony PSP and the Nintendo DS in a month or so in the form of Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command, and THQ let IGN give it a test run.
GameXplain: "This week is huge in terms of game releases. I'm not sure if I can remember the last time so many great titles were released at the same time. Between Dead Island, Disgaea 4, Driver: San Francisco, and Resistance 3, fans of just about every genre were covered. And yet, I can't help but wonder if one other game is getting wrongly overlooked. Warhammer 40000: Space Marine is a hyper violent action shooter that takes place within the tabletop game's universe, something that most gamers just aren't familiar with. And that's a shame because Warhammer 40000 has proved influential to gaming culture over the years."
Great article! I love the Warhammer 40K universe and Dawn of War is a great series.
Terminator Squadron!!
I have both (collectors ed too btw), both are interesting AND fun, I'm new to the warhammer universe and these games caught me by surprise.....great lore and story and the action in these games is non-stop. I highly recommend to anyone into Gears, Unreal, Killzone, Vanquish, etc... a gem that should not be passed up.
Following the successful launch of the PSP Essentials range back in May last year, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has revealed a number of titles that are set to benefit from an even greater price reduction. Originally launched as a wallet-friendly £9.99 range, a selection of PSP Essentials titles are now available from only £6.99 on PlayStation Network.
For a second I thought it said PSP Price Drop Revealed.
Nonetheless any price drops is a great thing.
Warhammer is a pretty rich, if not over the top universe, that is actually full of extremely interesting lore on par with universes such as those created by Blizzard, however, where Warhammer has a stranglehold on the Tabletop gaming industry, Blizzard knows perfectly well how to make exceptional gaming experiences. And while we all love a great story, sometimes an uneven balance or really not paying any mind to a balance in the first place can see a potentially great game wind up at the bottom of a gaming pile never to be seen or heard from the game - such is the case with Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command.
