Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is an action shooter with weight. And that weight doesn’t come from just the screen-shaking heft of the marines you play, it also comes from the deep history of the nearly 25-year-old franchise upon which the game was built.
Here’s a quick look at the scene-setting Hand Book that was sent along to reviewers. Enjoy.

Anybody else hoping that there could be a game based on Epic, with Titans and Gargants etc., in Supreme Commander style?
