Video: In the grim dark future of humanity, there is only war. And an awesome looking third person shooter, called Space Marine.
Time to be honest - we have a near-genetic pre-disposition to like Warhammer 40,000, and any game based on it. Sure, we're not feeling hopeful just yet about the Dark Millennium MMO, but if you told us we could play it tomorrow we'd jump at the chance. Similarly, we never get tired of watching our tiny squads of Marines kick Xenos butt in Dawn of War. But the real game that's getting us stupidly and unabashedly excited is the upcoming third person shooter, Space Marine.
Not only do you get to play as a member of the Adeptus Astartes, a veritable angel of death in ceramite power armour, but you're an Ultramarine no less - my beloved first Chapter when I got into the tabletop hobby years ago. And, also, you get to kick a giant amount of arse in the game.
Check out the E3 trailer to see just how much arse a Marine can kick...
There's no release date yet for the game, annoyingly, and it's only on console, but we're expecting awesome things from Space Marine.
