GamesAreEvil Review: Space Marine

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war.” Etched across the bottom of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game rulebook, this saying completely epitomizes the 40k universe. There have been many video games that have ventured into Games Workshop’s world during its nearly 25 year history. None of them have been quite like Space Marine. Sure, Fire Warrior was a decent first-person shooter back in the PlayStation 2 era. Relic’s own Dawn of War series has been the most faithful recreation of the table top game experience and has enjoyed some success on the PC. Nothing, however, has showcased the utter brutality of the 40k universe like Space Marine.
