THERE WAS A TIME when, if someone said Foxconn, one thought of low-end motherboards, graphics cards, and other OEM products. However, if you now ask most enthusiasts or gamers what names or images come to mind when you say Foxconn, you will hear names like Blood Rage, Dreadnaught, BLACKOPS, Mars, Avenger and sometimes - depending on who you are - even people such as Saaya or Shamino. These are all from Foxconn’s Quantum Force family - one of the most well-known family of products for enthusiasts.

IT’S THE ‘90S. WE love techno and hip-hop. It’s the end of the Soviet Union. Michael Jackson’s latest hit Black or White rules the airwaves. Sonic the Hedgehog is the game of the moment.

It’s not easy, then, to just go ahead and create a sequel to such a legacy. Perhaps this is why Relic opted instead to focus on releasing three weighty expansions before finally packing it in. Now, five years later, Dawn of War rises once again, and once more it’s chucked all the rules before it into the blender and produced something that isn’t simply different from its predecessors: it takes the genre itself to a whole new level.

IT’S THE YEAR 2531, 20 years before the Halo incident. Sergeant John Forge, perched safely atop a sniper tower overlooking Blood Gulch Canyon, scans the horizon… his eyes searching for any sign of enemy forces. The sunlight wreaks havoc with his vision as the rays of the morning sun reflect off objects in the distance. Intel reports that the Covenant are preparing to attack the UNSC stronghold behind him, the closest thing to a home the Sergeant has had in months. It’s going to happen. The only question is when...
