Review for Winter Assault popped up at Gamespot earning a score of 8.3.

Dawn of War bucked the trend of traditional real-time strategy games, which usually require you to chop wood and mine gold for a few minutes before you can build up a base, then churn out an army of military units. Instead, you chose one of the game’s four playable sides (the fanatical space marines, the demonic forces of chaos, the swift-footed eldar, or the swarming armies of the orks) and forged ahead on the map, capturing strategic points for resources to build out a base, often getting into skirmishes early. In contrast, the expansion’s new playable faction, the Imperial Guard, focuses on defense–that is, hanging back around a base, gradually researching higher technologies, and eventually bringing out the big guns.

Come check it out here.

There’s a review up at 1Up of Winter Assault.

The real measure of Winter Assault’s success is that you’ll willfully put the hours in doing exactly that. Not since Blizzard unleashed Brood Wars on the Starcraft community has a developer put such a well-conceived effort into an expansion pack. Relic has rewarded the patience of its fans with an absolute must have add-on, and for any RTS fan that hasn’t already picked up the original game…no more excuses.

No More Excuses! They scored it an 8.0 Dynamite.
