Dawn of War 2

During my rant about how bad Starcraft 2 is, a friend of mine told me that Dawn of War 2 is so much better. And that it's awesome. So I downloaded the demo from Steam for free, and played it, and it's seriously the best game I've played in the past 5 years.

The best part is that DoW2 is modeled after Warhammer 40,000, which is pretty much the best Wargame-system in the world. Space marines, Orks, space elves, big ugly bugs—what more could you ask for? Guns maybe? Well, so far all of the space marines have guns, and usually they are big.

"Daddy, I want to play Dawn of ward 2". Oh yeah? Why? "I like guns".

So, I let him "play" by sitting on my lap and watching me play. Then he says "I want to be the guy with the guns". And I say "Well, they all have guns".

DoW2 got rid of one of the most annoying parts of the game, which building a base. Sure, base building can be kind of interesting, but usually you have to spend at least as much time playing base manager as you do actually playing the game. Well, as fun as it is to WAIT for my stupid buildings to build, and for my stupid harvester guys to go get more minerals, I'd honestly just spend my time PLAYING the game. You know, shooting the orcs/bugs/spaceelves with all the guns. Also, Grenades, Rocket launchers, demo charges, and JET PACKS! Yeah, it's just awesome. I'm just going to say, don't waste $180 on Starcraft 2 (or any money on Blizzard junk in general—they're just not doing anything cool lately) and get a good game!
