    Found these two links and figured i'd share them with you all.

    Gameplay video! and IGN Article

    Initial thoughts from me concerning the gameplay video is that it looks great visually and they've grasped the designs and ideas of the WH40K world and its setting. The fact its also got Space Marines in it aswell makes me smile, we all know Space Marines are awesome but focus on melee over range? i say WTF to that. Space Marines are all about the ranged combat, they hardly ever go into melee combat unless there is really no other option. Plus the bolter gun that they use is one of the strongest guns in the WH40K universe, so why neglect it in the game? I get the impression they thought "Gears of War had chainsaws on guns with the Lancer, WH40K has chainsaw swords so lets get in on some Gears like fatalities!". And that whole fatality animation for every kill with the chainsaw sword would annoy me if it kept happening for every kill.

    So whats everyone elses thoughts on this?

    Even though I'm a big fan of Gears of War, I have to say that it feels like they are being influenced by Gears way too much. I have never played a Warhammer game before so I don't know what the combat has been like in past games, but I think anyone would agree that this is very similar to Gears of War's combat system.

    It looks interesting. Obviously very early build but they'll have to do something alot more interesting than what they showed to make it a worth while game.

    There's no page for it yet? You think a mod would be more on top of things like this :P

    Anyways, I love the straight up title. They're just like: "yeah, it's Space marines, they're cool" :P

    Y'know the changes that have been made since the beta came out have disturbed me. But hopefuly it will have time to mature before it becomes a money loser. :P

    Overall, I'm sure it'll be entertaining. But is it worth $60?  They need to get these prices down, at least back to $50.
