Space Hulk on Aussie TV!

Post by mattyg » Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:15 am

Recently the Australian gaming show Good Game did a story on Warhammer related games.This was to coincide with Dawn of War II and the new football game. Although the 3do does not get a mention we do get to see screen shots of the game playing (pc version I think).Unfortunately the game got an average rap - if the 3DO version was shown it may have been different!

feel free to post a rebuff on their site re the 3DO version

Average? BOOOOOOO! Space Hulk blew my mind away!

I loved the first Dawn of War game along with the first expansion but the other 2 were godawful. Dawn of War 2 sounds like a bucket of fail. An RTS with no base building? Well there is base building... in multiplayer matches only. What were they thinking? The first Dawn of War was all about making as many testosterone steroid freaks in power armor guys as possible and spilling blood and guts everywhere all for the Emperor. You can't do that with limited units.

I saw we CLEANSE PURGE KILL the sequel.

Damn that's one of my fav games and they don't allow non-Aussies to watch it. On top of that when I go thru an Australian proxy it tells me "Javascript and flash 9 required to view this content." Is there anywhere else I can view this?

Just adding to this post - last weeks episode was based around preservation and collecting of consoles with one pan of a collectors house revealing an FZ-10 in plain view!
Also this weeks episode was Zombie themed where footage was shown of Corpse Killer ! (Mega CD version)

You get some good telly in oz don't you? We haven't had a decent video game TV show since Games Master in the early 90s, although I only watched that for the toga clad women and dominic diamonds humour. The rest always seemed a bit "BBC" (sanitized)

The hosts of this show are actually quite likeable :o
They won me when they did a review of "lost" on the 360 and summed it up by hurling it off the studio roof!
The station is government owned and run so they can say what they think without advertisers lashing back
