Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade
Deep under the central desert of Kronus, a vast honeycomb of skull-lined tunnels and funereal chambers house the awakening mass of the Necron plague. Eons ago, these were the boulevards and squares of a great necropolis built to house the bones of the races who had fallen to the Necron purge, and ultimately for the Necron themselves to retire to. Over the millions of years, sand and rock had covered it all until ill-fated excavations awoke the deathless again. Play any of seven races, striving for control over Kronus. Take other races' strongholds by winning challenging battles on various maps individually associated with the respective Strongholds.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War officially 'The Most Cinematic Moment In Gaming'
Following Gamespy readers' votes, Dawn of War is number one!
Gamespy ran a feature of 'The Top 25 Gaming Cinematic Moments' back in April, which featured Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War in the number 12 spot. But apparently the readers weren't happy with the staff selection, and so the list was opened up to a more democratic process.
And it seems a worthy rebellion. People power has determined that, in fact, the number one spot for the new 'Readers' Choice Top 10 Cinematic Moments in Gaming' belongs to Relic's awesome RTS. The proof is in this pudding here.
We'd be inclined to agree with the readers on that one. And as reward, we can promise much more to come from the Warhammer 40,000 camp - not least the recently announced MMO and Squad Command for handhelds.
And if that's the sort of thing that tickles your fancy, and in keeping with this revived democratic spirit, don't forget our strategy gamer survey over here. And, of course, our on-going community features with Relic themselves, over here.
