It took seven years for Company of Heroes 2, the sequel to Relic's massively popular World War II-themed PC-exclusive strategy game, to hit the shelves. But was it worth the wait? Six reviews say yes.
Company of Heroes was a game for true armchair generals. There was no resource collecting, no tank rushes, none of the hallmarks of other games that look like they're about a clash of armies but are really little but mouse-driven sprint races.
From somber to frentic to somber again. Company of Heroes 2, Relic's followup to their 2006 real-time strategy game, will be released for the PC on June 25. Hopefully, actually playing it won't be as much of an emotional rollercoaster as watching the trailer. [Thanks, DSOGaming!]

The harsh Soviet winter of 1941 saw temperatures drop as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature at which human skin freezes in minutes. Axis and Allied forces alike suffered tremendous casualties due to the extreme cold. Relic Entertainment harnesses this deadly force of nature with Company of Heroes 2'sā¦
The physical feature that most impressed players of the first great Company of Heroes real-time strategy game was the earth. In combat, under the impact of a grenade or tank shell, it cratered.
Rumors have been hot and heavy that THQ would be announcing a sequel to hit PC strategy title, Company of Heroes and, today, the beleaguered publisher has done exactly that. As hinted by the vintage newspaper page we showed last week, the sequel to the 2006 game will focus on the WWII battles between Nazi Germany andā¦
Early this morning a delivery person showed up at my door with shocking news: HITLER BEGINS WAR ON RUSSIA. Either that was the world's most delinquent paper boy, or THQ really wants us to get excited about Company of Heroes 2.
The fate of the Warhammer 40,000 MMO has been revealed: It's no longer a Warhammer 40,000 MMO. THQ has announced Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium has been "refocused" as a single-player action game with multiplayer elements, a change that brings with it substantial layoffs at developers Vigil Games and Relicā¦

Relic Entertainment has proven time and time again with its Dawn of War real-time strategy franchise that it has a deep respect for Warhammer: 40.000. Does that respect extend to the third-person shooter?
I might not know a Space Marine from an exploding squig, but I know a true action hero when I ram his weapon down the throats of a couple thousand Orks.
The Brian Wood Memorial Trust, set up to assist the family of a Relic developer killed tragically in a car accident last year, is raising funds this month with some great Warhammer 40K swag.
While its big, burly characters make it look like it wants to be Gears of War, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine's core tenant is distinctly un-Gears-like: Cover is for the weak.
Proof positive that pre-release demos can make or break a game, my interest level in Relic Entertainment's Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine went from zero to must-buy within 30 minutes of try-before-you-buy gameplay.
If the text flashing by in this trailer are to be believed, Relic Entertainment has managed to cram 1.8 billion different ways to customize Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine's six multiplayer classes, a number at least 1,000 times larger than the amount of people likely to care.
