Kind of stepping outside it’s interesting to see the trends of games that are not necessarily new. Some of that was skewed by the purchase of the 360 earlier this year, but Dead Rising is not a new game by any means.

A game I wouldn’t consider at $60 becomes a lot more likely as a purchase when it hits $30, though I actually didn’t pay anything for Dead Rising. I might have if the option hadn’t presented itself.

If you’ve played Dark Crusade you may not like Soulstorm all that much. The Sisters of Battle are kind of interesting but seem too much like weak Space Marines and not a lot to differentiate them. The Dark Eldar are utterly forgettable. The gameplay changes are for the worst. I don’t remember Dark Crusade having quite so much slog.

Anyway, I’ve professionally reviewed Dawn of War and I cannot believe that I forgot to get this. I don’t know. Maybe it was because it was not done by Relic.

DoW, to me, might be the best RTS in the last ten years.
