Relicnews: the definitive source for all things Relic

Following with the tradition of what Homeworld.com has become, Sumo gave us their new SumoSac to review.

Relicnews’s review of the SumoSac Chair

Relic posted on the forums about an opportunity to be in an upcoming unannoucned Relic beta. To be eligibile, you must take part of the Company of Heroes playtest that is going on currently. Invitations into the beta will be based on your participation in the playtest.

Relic is proud to announce eligibility to an upcoming currently unannounced Relic Beta for qualified participants in the Company of Heroes - Balance Playtest! We will be capturing metrics (accumulated time in-game, number of games, etc…) to decide our winners. The winners will be notified at the conclusion of the Playtest. The Playtest does not currently have an end-date, however one will be given approximately two weeks prior. The top 100 participants will receive the aforementioned beta key!

Company of Heroes: Playtest Announcement! on Relic Forums.

According to THQ (via IGN), Dawn of War II will be at E3. Hmmm Dawn of War II. Thanks to Nessy for the heads up.

I hope that THQ will also show off some of Company of Heroes Online, although that would probably be A BIG FREAKIN’ TEASE (You had me at “Hello” darnit!).

Someone remind me to start that Relic Open House article.

If you have not seen this yet, go see it.

Also, if you can, make sure you try and get to the Relic Open House next year.

FREAKING AMAZING!
