After much tooing and frowing and back and forth’ness my review of Dawn of War: Soulstorm has finally been published on GAME.com

Due to some issues of not being a GAME employee it has been published as a ‘Featured Customer Review.’ But don’t worry it is mine! I say things such as:

The latest ‘expandalone’ from Relic and Iron Lore in the Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War series, Soulstorm is the third expansion for Dawn of War and is potentially the biggest one yet. Introducing two new armies and a massive new single-player campaign this is an immense proposition.

Soulstorm builds on the same basic principles of all the games in the Dawn of War franchise, build your base, attack using cover, capture control points and crush the enemy. Subtle differences in gameplay arrive with the introduction of the two new races and the addition of flying units.

And the rest can be found here.

THQ has confirmed that Dawn of War 2 is in the works.

The press blurb promises that DoW2 will run on the Essence Engine 2.0 and will involve a non-linear single-player campaign and a co-operative multiplayer mode. The title is being developed exclusively for the PC (a rarity these days) and is set for a Spring 2009 release.

The press release also mentions that owners of the latest Dawn of War expansion, Soulstorm will have the chance to take part in an invitation only multiplayer beta. There is no timescale for when this will start up.
