The Bovine Conspiracy
Company of Heroes is developer Relic's latest franchise into the RTS genre. And despite being set in the completely overused setting of WW2, it manages to be one of the best games I've ever played. The game is a wonderful combination of tactical depth

It's hardly surprising that Company of Heroes is from the developers of the visceral and imaginative Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. They've taken tired old World War II tropes and breathed thrilling new life into them with what is arguably one of the

Company of Heroes seizes the bloated WWII genre by its tail and wags until years of excess bunkum sloughs off -- what's left is lean, mean, and a triumph for company-level tactics. The more you dig in, the more it gives back, and the less you care that

It's beautiful, though that's entirely the wrong word. This is a war game, so the word should be "visceral" or something. Models are hugely detailed for an RTS, physics implemented impressively and so on. But relevantly, it's a functional sort of beauty

The real-time strategy genre has been oversaturated with countless World War II titles in recent times and so it is with some trepidation that most will approach Company of Heroes. This, the latest title from Canadian strategy super-studio Relic

Company of Heroes is without doubt a fun and addictive game. In many ways, it has done for real-time strategy what the "Battlefield" franchise did for first-person shooters.

The learning curve in this title may put some people off, certainly later in the missions, but there is enough to make the game enjoyable to green strategists while the veterans will find these same late missions give them something to think about.

That’s the spirit that Jay Wilson, one of the designers on COH told me was the vision of this game when I interviewed at the 2005 WCG, and I was intrigued and had high hopes. I faltered somewhat in my faith when I saw the Relic WWII Xbox 360 title The
