So after Relic Entertainment and THQ mastered the Real Time Strategy franchise with their award winning games like Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, they have taken it upon themselves to make a step into the shooter franchise with the newest edition to the Warhammer series with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. This will be a 3rd person shooter with a very bloody look at the war between the marines and orcs. Not much is known about the game as far as story line or customizability but after seeing the trailer it looks like it’s going to be a bloody battle from beginning to end. Wether it be with a mounted turret, the heavy bolter or your chainsword it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Even though Relic has never made a shooter game, with the guidance of THQ this will be a successful first step into the series for them. Check out the trailer below to see for yourself.

Just as a side note this is not the first action game involving the Warhammer 40k there are 2 games as far as I know both of them are FPSz , I am talking about “Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels” for the the PS1 and “Fire Warrior” for the PS2 I kinda liked both games but they are not half as good as the Tactical Warhammer games … I don’t own a Xbox nor a PS3 so I’ll be skipping this one.

I wasn’t saying this is the first shooter warhammer, I was saying that it’s relic and thq’s partnership taking their version of warhammer into the shooters for the first time
