    Ok ladies and gents, this one I was aware of but lately has come in underneath the radar in all honesty. I am a fan of Warhammer 40K and play Ultramarines in the Table top version, which I really need to start again now after playing this. (Bastards).

    The game demo is available on Steam, I got it on Wed and spent most of Thursday playing it, including the mission I am about to link about 7 times or more, each time I did something different although the way you go is linear, but oh so much fun, getting used to moving the camera around in 3rd person to attack took a little getting used to though but so worth the download I feel. The game is gory though as well so if you have young kids or don't like gore, don't watch the video and don't play it.



    Jump Pack Mission


    Some Execution / Finishing moves


    I updated the last video so needed to relink it :D

    Controls are great Welshie, I also just played the Demo on XBox as well, same feeling there but the controls seem weird, but then again not really used to Consoles. PC is much easier as there is a little bit you need to do quickly in that.

    Welshie did you end up downloading this and having a look? Would like to know what you thought of it if you did play it. People who have played Gears of War might find it similar to that as well, but the funny thing I have read on the forums for Space Marine is people are going on about things like "this game type was done in Gears of War you noobs" only to be curb stomped by the fact 40K has been out for over 20 years as table top etc and those game types were played on a table long before these things made it to a PC :D

    Tis a great game and now it has Co-Op but I haven't tried that yet. Yeah it's funny how the youngsters seem to always live in the here and now not giving much thought to what came before. I still play Warhammer fantasy tabletop, it's great.

    Well Mayday I am always up for trying to get a couple of others for a game of Co-Op if you are around on the weekend mate, it's a lot of fun and people HAVE to work as a squad, I normally play Assault and jet pack into the enemy and pwn them up with Melee attacks.
