If there's one developer out there that's boldly pushing the boundaries of the real-time strategy genre with great games, it's got to be Relic. Look at 2006's Company of Heroes, the company's acclaimed World War II title. CoH masterfully blended a morale system, destructible environments, a cool resource system that forced you to expand around the map, and top-notch graphics. The end result was a game that felt like a World War II battlefield come to life on your desktop.
Now Relic is coming back with Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor. Instead of simply delivering more of the same, Relic continues to tinker and experiment. Tales of Valor almost feels like a blend of action and real-time strategy gaming, something IGN got to experience first-hand.
The Humble Company of Heroes Complete Bundle just launched. It includes Company of Heroes, Company of Heroes 2, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor, and more.
GameZone writes, "The Humble Bundle might be one of my favorite things to spend money on each year. Not only because I get a good amount of games for very cheap, but I also get introduced to a lot of indie games that I would have otherwise missed out on.
This time though, the Humble Bundle doesn't include bite-sized indie titles; instead, we're treated to an amazing five THQ games with two expansions. What's more, each of those games (with the exception of one) have a sequel coming up, or did come out this year. Let's look at what exactly is offered here."
I would get it if I didn't already own all that interested me pretty much. I have Saints Row, Metro, and the GOOD Red Faction (Guerrilla). Not really interested in Company of Heroes... Darksiders interests me, but I'm not sure I really need it right now...
