I really like the Warhammer universe, so I'd love to get this game if it is at all decent.

Woo, Vinny and Brad doing some S-linking! That's cool because traditionally BV Quick Looks were a bit shit but man, these are some bang busters, if you know what I mean.

This seems to be an acceptable dual joystick shooter esc game for a downloadable game. When they announced it I had the expectation of it being baaaad but it looks fine here. Shame its console only tho.

I think they got a lot of the character models from Dawn of War II on the PC, which was a smart move because that game still looks very nice.

Love me some 40k.
 
You guys mentioned that you weren't sure where to start with 40k novels. I'd say start with the Ciaphas Cain novels, you can't go wrong with them.
 
Looking forward to Space Marine. May pick this up while I wait for it.

No I'd suggest the first three Horus Heresy books for anyone new to 40k.

This actually looks really enjoyable. I love the lighting effects coming from Vinny's gunfire. I'm surprised that they didn't pick up on the fact that the power-ups are ranged, so when they stay together, they both get the benefits.

Totally agree. Just got into reading 40K 4 or 5 months ago and I started with the Horus Heresy, really liking it. Im 6 books deep now =)

If you wanna give the books a try, jump into the Horus Heresy series. It's the story of the event that shaped the entire 40k universe as it is today which makes it ideal if you want a good place to jump in. You can ignore all the other books.

Looks like a typical average dual stick shooter. Doesn't deserve the 40k license. It's been awhile since a good 40k action/shooter game. Space Hulk 2 was probably the last one.

While the Heresy books are quite good, especially at the beginning of the series, and quite varied due to the round robin style of having different authors writing each, they present a different world to that of the "current" 40k universe. The Horus Heresy is really the start of the 40k fluff, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best entry point to outsiders. 
 
The reason why the Cain books are so amazing is Sandy Mitchell's writing style and character development. The characters feel human and jaded, with a swagger and confidence that also seems completely natural. This style makes starting to get into the universe a bit more palatable for those uncertain if they want to take the plunge. That's not to say the Horus Heresy books aren't a good start point, either, but the Cain books bridge the gap between Warhammer 40k novel, and just a good science fiction novel that a stranger to the universe might read.

Looks damn nice. WIll get this when it comes out on PSN! Love Dawn of War 2, and would die for a game on PS3 with that engine. Maybe a modified DoW2, where you only use one squad, and it is more of a RPG :D

I played about an hour or so last night. Thought the game was OK, but only went through the first level about 2 times with 2 different characters.
