Warhammer 40K: Dawn Of War @ IC-Games

Another well written review by Necropolis.. [quote]To sum up this game is easy, If you like RTS in any way, shape or form then get this game. While not breaking any new barriers in the genre it certainly shows everyone how the best just got better. If it the single player was a bit longer and the cutscenes had been improved then this would be the perfect RTS but as it is its still damn impressive. I can wait too see if they are brining out any expansions because I will be first in the queue, I can tell you that for nothing.[/quote] Add comment
