Real Time Tactics at its Finest
(
PC
)
The common misnomer of real time "strategy" has persisted throughout the gaming community since the days of the first Command and Conquer. A strategy dictates which large scale battles to fight and which to avoid while tactics are the choices said battlefield, a division few games place emphasis upon. Relic ...

For too long have we starved for a game that makes war feel like actual bloody war, where a battlefield essentially can be picked assunder and rendered into a dead, flat and cratered field. A game in which there is no cutting back on the ammo, and where the "strategy" ...

A curious cocktail of RTS and RPG spirits
(
PC
)
Dawn of War II is a rather strange mix of real-time strategy and role-playing elements that you'll either get, love and cherish; or hate, curse and despise. When many games at the moment are trying to do 'bigger and better', Relic goes and does something completely different; instead of just ...

Time to adjust
(
PC
)
Let me start with a disclaimer: I'm a Warhammer 40k geek. With that being said, I loved the original DoW (and its expansions) because of the complexity, variety, and ingenuity Relic put into the game. With DoWII, I had to completely readjust my way of thinking. It went from large-scale ...

If I had to name one developer to be inducted into a Hall of Fame, it would be Relic Entertainment from Canada. One look down the list of their games is a look into the evolution of RTS’s. Homeworld brought controlling units in full 3d, Dawn of War brought in ...

A new wave of war has being born. My DarkZero review of DoW 2

It's not often you come across a game that mixes in two majorly different types of gameplay elements and at the same time turns out to be remarkably well. At the top of my head I can only think of Puzzle Quest that manages to fit that bill with its ...

I´m going to start off by being completely honest with you. Growing up I was a huge RTS fan but in my more adult years I really can´t remember a single RTS title that I´ve actually played through start to finish. RTS is a hard genre to make these days. Its ...

Dawn of War is back, but was it worth the wait? The Answer... YES

PC

Warhammer, its been Relic's flagship game for almost 3 years or so, it would make sense to make a sequel to that wildly popular game, and that is by god what they did. They took what Dawn of War had, threw it out to concentrate on namely the series trademark, ...

Mini-review : Plays like 2 different games, both excellent.
(
PC
)
The single player campaign and the multiplayer game are so different in my opinion they play like 2 different games. The campaign plays almost like an RPG. You get gear, experience, and a skill tree. It just lacks the 20+ hours of gameplay that a typical RPG has. It does ...

A step in the right direction for RTS
(
PC
)
The main reasons I have been attracted to Dawn of War 2 is the premise of no base building, small squad, a hero and micro-management. I am really good at Warcraft 3 and have been playing the game since 2002. The focus on a smaller army and penalties for turtling ...

The Best Fantasy RTS since Warcraft 3
(
PC

I spent most of my late elementary and early Middle School years, engrossed in RTS's such as Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. Sooner or later the novelty wore off, and three years later and I switched to consoles, due to the games getting old and outdated. Every Year I hoped and ...

A great single player experience
(

First off I'm not the greatest RTS game player around. In fact of all the genre's it's my least favorite next to Platformers. That being said I'm a LONG time Warhammer 40K player (2nd Edition baby!) and I've been a Tyranid player since forever. So needless to say I HAD ...

If you go into this game expecting the first, and will except no substitutes prepare to be let down. I personally loved the first and its following many expansions, and at first felt a little let down that the sequel wasn't exactly the same, but after playing I’m actually enjoying ...

Since 2004, Relic Entertainment has been an unstoppable force in creating some of the PC’s most endearing RTS games since the likes of Westwood and Blizzard. The original Dawn of War was one of the first licensed Warhammer games that wasn’t just a poor and misguided use of the name, ...
