Warhammer dark crusade.

But look for the pack with the three of them:

WH Dawn of war winter assult
WH dawn of war dark crusade.

I used to be a huge PC gamer but the recent emphasis on strictly online games such as the battlefield titles have put me off as I don't like online games.

However if you are looking for high quality Single Player games I would recommend the following:

- Crysis
- Orange Box (good variety there with Team Fortress if you are into that stuff)
- Bio Shock
- Oblivion ( a bit of yesterday's news now but the best game released in the past 6 years IMO)
- Dawn of War

I am the Grumpy old gamer type who thinks that game play quality has largely decreased in the past decade while only graphics and sound has improved while the focus on online skirmish games is too high. So my advice in games is not as mainstream as it once would have been and it shows as many of the games mentioned are somewhat old by industry standards.

This is me challenging you to a Warhammer 40k duel, good sir! We should get an OTCA Multiplayer match organised. I hate getting owned by the 'pro's' online.

Spore gets released in a few days time. Could be an excellent way to pass the time.

I'll be in that! Great game. I'm a Space Marine noob though. (My usual army are my custom pink-armoured warriors named the Girly-Boys)
Just can't bring myself to play with any of those disgusting heretics and aliens.

The Emperor protects!

I would, but the only game I play online is diablo2.

And yea, I play nothing but space marines too. Sometines the tau. But space marines rock. I enjoy filling the space elves (eldar), with heavy bolter rounds. The terminator squad is my favorite unit.

Also, stalker clear sky is due soon too I think.

I'm really waiting for GTA4 in Nov though. And there is also warhammer DOW 2.......

Can't wait to squish me some bugs under the tracks of my land raider.

You're more new school than me. I've no interest in crysis or bio shock. Then again, I am the guy with roughly 100GB+ of MAME on my computer.....

But yea, I'm only interested in games that do have a good single player element. If they don't (like only practice or skirmish type stuff like battlefield has), I just skip them altogether.
