Buy Soulstorm, get Dawn of War II beta access

Filed under: , , , , , , , ,

Today it was announced that people who purchased Warhammer 40K Dawn of War: Soulstorm will gain access to an invitation-only multiplayer beta for Dawn of War II. There’s been no word as to when the beta will take place.

Since I love the Warhammer 40K universe (I played the table top game until my wallet couldn’t support me), I can’t wait for Dawn of War II. I mean who wouldn’t be excited for a non-linear campaign, a fully co-op multiplayer campaign, fully destructible environments and chainsaw bayonets?

For the full press release, hit the jump. Also, check out GGL’s Dawn of War: Soulstorm tournament–only two weeks remain, and only one player can stand at the end of it all. Continued…

A bevy of GGL tournament news has come down the line, concerning our Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War: Soulstorm, Frontlines: Fuel of War, Big Air Gaming League and Ace Combat 6 competitions. There’s also some news about the Forbidden Kingdom sweepstakes, which could see you win a trip to China, and the awesome GGL Gamer Signature launch.

First, our WH40k tournament ends in only two weeks! You can find all the news about it over at GGL’s Warhammer 40k: Soulstorm group. Currently, Kakashi859 leads the ladder. We’ll have more news about this tournament as it comes in, but stay tuned for what will hopefully be an epic finale.

Registration for our Frontlines: Fuel of War tournament ends in five days, so the window is closing. The good news is that there are still open spots, so you can still easily secure a spot in the 32 team bracket portion of the tourney. What are you waiting for? Hit frontlines.ggl.com for more info and to register.

The Big Air Gaming League will open its Guitar Hero 3 practice ladders on April 15. Hit it up now to shake off the rust and get in more practice before the competition starts.

On the sweepstakes side of things, Lions Gate Entertainment is sponsoring a sweepstakes that could see a GGL member win a trip to China. Register now for your chance to win, and be sure to check out the upcoming Forbidden Kingdom featuring Jet Li and Jackie Chan.

Last but not least, GGL has launched its Gamer Signature card. This allows you to paste your GGL profile to any messageboard or website you frequent with your favorite games, contact info and more. To get started with a Gamer Signature card, register for GGL and then visit your newly created profile. Go to “My Signature” to edit your Gamer Signature.

Warhammer 40K: Soulstorm now available on Steam

Filed under: , , , , , , ,

Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War: Soulstorm, the subject of an ongoing GGL tournament, is now available on Steam.

Soulstorm is priced at $39.99 and does not require the original Dawn of War game. It features nine different armies: Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orks, Tau, Necrons, Imperial Guard, and the Sisters of Battle.

As with previous titles in the series, the RTS game incorporates a large number of units, squad control by default (instead of individual units, most units are produced in groups that cannot be separated), and some fairly ridiculous animations as far as RTS games go.

Register for GGL now and join the tournament.

Hit Steampowered for the game.

Dawn of War: Soulstorm demo released

Filed under: , , , , , , , , ,

Line up your Space Marine pods and warm up the Warp portals. The Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War: Soulstorm demo has been released, featuring two new factions and aerial units.

The Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle join us in this iteration of the game. Dark Eldar revel in pain and torture, while the Sisters of Battle are warrior nuns (no kidding) that hunt demons and rogue psykers.

With the addition of Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle, there are now a total of nine armies in the game. However, you’ll only be able to play all nine if you have the previous games (Dawn of War, Winter Assault and Dark Crusade).

Personally, I can’t wait for Soulstorm to be released. Relic’s RTS games feature some of the best unit animations and models I’ve ever seen.

Grab the demo from these locations:

ActionTrip, AtomicGamer, AusGamers, ComputerGames.ro, FanGaming, Fragland, Gamer’s Hell, and Internode Games Network (thanks Bluesnews).
