THQ is set to launch a brand new collection for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, for the first time bringing both the first and second titles together in a single package. In fact, not only does the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Ultimate Collection offer both Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, but also every other retail packaged product from the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series. It’s not called ‘Ultimate’ for nothing.
George Barker, of Bits and Pieces, takes a look at the quality of the Warhammer games being given away in this month's White Dwarf magazine.
VGChatz's Taneli Palola: "There's no question that during these years the overall popularity of the genre took a significant hit, as most games within it specialized even further by adding new elements from other types of games into their gameplay loops and consequently became increasingly niche as the years wore on.
However, this doesn't in any way mean that the period was devoid of great games. Quite the contrary, in fact. Arguably some of the greatest RTS titles ever made came out around this time, and much of this was because many developers were increasingly familiar and comfortable with adding new twists and gameplay elements to the familiar formula. As such, even when the genre's popularity dwindled, many studios were still creating excellent and groundbreaking titles almost every year, just for a smaller audience than in years past."
those were fun years red alert star craft command and conquer well when westwood studio made good games before EA brought them like bioware...
Aside from C&C 4, the other C&C's from EA were all good/great. The genre nose dived once Moba's rose in popularity, even Petroglyph Games (ex-Westwood employees) haven't had a hit since Star Wars: Empire at War (2006), all there games got abandoned after launch.
When Jurgen Post joined the Sega Europe head office, the publisher wasn't in good shape.
In fact, when he took the role of COO and president in 2012, the firm was in desperate need of a new direction.
Sega you f***** up huge you had so many insanely loyal fans that you got it when you killed the Dreamcast and then your games just went to total s***it's so unfortunate I still have a Genesis and a Dreamcast tucked under my TV next to the PS4 and Xbox One. You were my number one Saga and there's a lot of guys like me that would have bought any system you launched. It took me awhile but I fully realize now that the Sega of my youth the Sega that I love died with the Dreamcast there's none of you left.
@Xi,
The difference is you are upset over a false perception. Sega simply ran out of money and couldn't exist as a platform holder.

They rely on Sonic Bollocks too much. Instead of innovating they just make more Sonic and his furry friends crap.
I wonder if one day the entire game industry gets together just before the apocalypse when they launch an Ultimate game collection of all games to date.
Now that's an ultimate ._. if I didn't have it all I'd buy it.
