While intimidating, this visceral real-time strategy reenactment of World War II's Western Front showcases just how far RTS game design and presentation quality have come.

is basically Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, World War 2 Style and believe me that isn't a bad thing.

Friend of mine picked this up Saturday night for our LAN. Gratefully, the game plays both single-player and LAN multiplayer without the DVD. It requires registration if you want to play Online, though, and that's where the CD Keys are taken into consideration (keep that in mind, amigos y amigas.)

As far as the gameplay goes...wow. They used the Dawn of War engine and improved a lot of the animations and semantics. A perfect example of how this evolves past a strict DoW clone is a moment when three riflemen took defensive position behind random bales of hay...briefly. I say briefly because after they were found, the hay was obliterated from the map by a grenade attack. Whilst the men got away in time, you could see the charred hay fall to the ground gracefully after the explosion. Excellent touch, and this is probably the first game I'm grabbing for my new gaming rig.

I got this game for my birthday, and only plan to use it for PC use (ie. no online play). So if anyone wants to buy my CD key, step forward.

I've been playing this for awhile, fun game.

Anyone wants to play me online, hit me up

I want it so badly but my computer just would not be able to handle it. I am officially a sad panda with an old computer.

I feel ya pain, Basha. It'll be a rough few weeks until my new Alienware comes in ( )

For anyone interested, this is the greatest quote in a videogame, EVER:

Sniper: "Trick or treat, motherfucker!"
