Next month sees the release of the much anticipated 3rd person shooter "Space Marine" by relic. I've been a huge fan of the warhammer 40k table top game/pc games since i was around 11, was somewhat unsure of this however as i didn't know if they'd pull it off well. However i downloaded the demo and it's absolutely fantastic The marines are pretty bad ass and the detail is pretty damn awesome aswell. The executions are suitabley powerfull for a marine (slamming an ork onto the ground and stamping his skull into oblivion), the weapons are fantastic as they even sound like they sound (e.g. the bolter does not sound like a machine gun). I haven't played a 3rd person shooter in nearly 10 years but this really did blow me away, i finished the demo and made myself a pre-order.

So have any of you played the demo? Have you pre-ordered the game yet? What are your thoughts on it?
