For anyone who's interested, Dawn of War is very good. It's a real time strategy based on the Warhammer 40k universe - this helps makes it good, as the game's universe has been well set up, and anyone who used to play the 40k game, or even just buy White Dwarf occasionally will be familiar with the units and races in the game.
It's good fun, as usual, setting up your bases and defences. Controlling troops is quite easy too, as they're arranged in squads rather than single units. You can customise the squads too, with a variety of heavy weapons, some good against vehicles, others better for mowing down enemy soldiers.
One criticism is that the main game is quite short at only 11 missions long, but there's a skirmish mode where you can set up a one-off battle against the computer, not to mention the multiplayer mode which I didn't play with. So a good review for Dawn of War. 7/11 we'll say.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Blog - I'm still doing this after a whole year!!!
