Being the Gamer that I am, and deciding that I can't resist to share this Gem with you, here it is:
This RTS(Real-Time-Strategy) Strategy is probably one of the best games I have ever played.(along with Halo, Halo 2, Rise of Nations, C&C series, Empire Earth, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2, Mercenaries, and their respective Expansion Packs)
"It is the 41st millennium. For more then a hundred centuries, the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is master of Mankind by the will of the gods, the master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies... Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance... Greatest among his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors... Forget the power of technology and science... Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods."
-From the pre-prologue in the book "Dawn of War: Ascension"
^^ DOES THAT NOT SOUND AWESOME?!?!?!?
You battle as the Space Marines, trying to take the planet Tarturas(Tar-ter-es) back from the invasion of the Orks, an evil, green, ugly race bent on the destruction of humanity. They do not act alone. The forces of Chaos (a splinter of the Space Marines that defected from Humanity) helps them to hamper the Space Marines' valient attempt to hold them back. The mysterious Eldar (an old race whose wearabouts and agenda is unknown) is fearing an "Ancient Enemy" and is battling both sides.
Take back the Emperor's terratory and defeat the Disorder in the planet!
If you like games like Command & Conquer, or anything like it, then you will love this game. People who love Strategy games will also find this one worth every penny. 10 out of 10 (or a **** in Mike's rating system )
