Video: An in-depth look at Dawn of War 3’s multiplayer
For those that played Dawn of War 2 you might remember that it was less about base building, like a traditional RTS, and more about commanding selected squads of troops. Many fans didn’t like the approach and it looks like Relic has been listening to the feedback of it’s community because Dawn of War 3 looks to be a true RTS.

6 Celebrities cameo appearances in video games
Who doesn’t love a good easter egg or cameo appearance in a video game? Just last week I was playing Call of Duty Infinite Warfare only to see Lewis Hamilton as a member of the crew on my spaceship.

Battlefront II won’t have a season pass
Season passes have unfortunately become a mainstay in modern gaming. They often even cost the same as the base game, but the content they provide you is never really worth that investment. It usually ends up being a few map packs or some singleplayer content that doesn’t add a lot to the already established experienced. Furthermore, you are taking a huge risk by trusting developers to not sc...

When buying physical copies, you have some recourse in selling or trading it in at your local game store, and making it some other unsuspecting fools’ problem.
