No, this is NOT a Starcraft thread. I love Starcraft too, but it just gets me when someone instantly thinks "Starcraft" when they read the words "Space Marine" on the title.
Anyways, this is about the game Space Marine, as in the Space Marines from the Warhammer 40k universe. As far as I know, you guys don't play the game and/or don't know the universe (thought you might have an idea of how it is from the Dawn of War games). So, if you have actually played the game, I wanted to know what a non-fan thougth about it. to the ones that have't even heard about the game, it's basically a third person shooter where you play a Space Marine Captain (kinda like a super-soldier/demi-god whose basic weapon is an automatic rifle that fires bigass explosive bullets) and fight Orks (relatively inteligent fungus with machineguns) and Chaos Space Marines (evil Space Marines that worship evil space gods). There's also a multiplayer mode, which is the main reason I want to play the game, but I can't because the guy who gets the games for my LAN center is being a lazy ass. Here's a trailer and two gameplay videos if you want to know more.

Didn't this used to be a board game like dungeons and dragons?

Actually, it's more of a strategy boardgame, not a RPG. It's also quite expensive, since each player has about 30 models in a small game and you also have to paint them. Anyways, this thread isn't about the boardgame, btu about the videogame.

Looks good while I haven't played warhammer anymore than once. I remember reading a review and it got a good score. unless I'm thinking of something else if the games not out yet.

I just played the demo today! It was awesome! Well, I MIGHT be a bit biased, since I was like "HOLY SHIT I'M A SPACE MARINE CAPTAIN! HOLY SHIT I'M FIRING THE HOLY FUCKING BOLTER! OH SHIT, A NOB IS GOING TO CLUB ME TO DEATH! EAT HOLY BOLT FIRE! FUCK YEAH, I'M GUTTING HIM WITH MY CHAINSWORD! THERE'S ORK BLOOD EVERYWHERE! BLOOD FOR THE- WAIT, NO... FOR THE EMPEROR!" all the time. The rest of the LAN center found it quite amusing.
