Oh! I see what you are doing Games Workshop and Relic. In creating Dawn of War II, you want me to get all nostalgic, dust off my miniatures and play Warhammer 40K again. Dawn of War II is not Dawn of War, in fact it is not an RTS at all, instead it is an exercise in reminiscing about miniature battles of old.

So here I am playing through Halo Wars on the Xbox 360 and Dawn of War II on PC. Games not dissimilar in theme, but different in how they play. Many said a first person shooter could not be done without the accuracy of keyboard and mouse, but can real time strategy also find comfort on a console platform?

Operation Flashpoint was a scary game, a first person shooter for sensible people that realised it takes only one bullet to kill. It meant, some serious planning needed to go into your operations. OFP was a fair way ahead of its time technically as well, and the follow-up Dragon Rising is being built with the same ideals. Check out the enclosed developer diary video.

The Need For Speed franchise has been around since 1994. For almost a decade and a half we have been stealing, racing and crashing expensive cars, flaunting the highway patrol and trying to impress pretty girls (and pretty boys for that matter). It’s probably time we settled down, bought ourselves a nice family wagon, and retired to the suburbs. Instead we head back out to the tar in Need For Speed Undercover
