Warhammer $18: Sale Command


THQ's Warhammer 40K: Squad Command may have earned a Metascore of just 57, but today it's also earned a $17.99 on the crucial "How much does this game cost on Amazon" scale. That's, well, less than the $29.99 you would normally have to spend to try the turn-based strategy title. It's just 44 cents per K of Warhammer!

It's almost worth $17.99 just to have a constant reminder of how great the custom Warhammer 40K DS Lite was. But of course just printing a picture of it would be significantly cheaper. Alternately, it could be worth picking up if you want to play a strategy game or something.

WRUP: Squad-based vehicles edition


This week, the new releases pretty much deal with squad-based combat or vehicles exclusively. So, if you aren't down with that, you're likely to not be picking up a new game. But, have no fear, as the holidays come next week and you're likely to receive some kind of gaming gift, if you were a good boy or girl. There's that to look forward to as you spend the weekend without a new game.

So, what are you playing?

DS releases for the week of December 17th

It's an odd week for gamers around the world. Europe's got a whopping nothing and Australia might as well have, Japan has its usual flood of DS titles, including some highly anticipated titles, and here in the U.S., we've got an odd mix hitting shelves. Let's hope everyone can find something to keep them entertained!
  • Elements of Destruction
  • Indianapolis 500 Legends
  • Luxor 2
  • MX vs. ATV: Untamed
  • Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command

Pretty much the most badass DS Lite mod ever



Though THQ hasn't made an official announcement for this customized Nintendo DS Lite, considering that the publisher has a giveaway in progress for six similar modded PlayStation Portables to promote Warhammer 40K: Squad Command's release on the PSP, we'll probably hear more about a contest for this dual-screened version once the game comes to the DS this December 13th.

Like with the PSPs, only six of these special edition systems have been made. The two-tone handheld, dressed in black and Ultramarine blue, resembles Nintendo's red-and-black DS and several other mods we've featured before, but sets itself apart with the ornate winged skull on its lid. Even if you're not a fan of Warhammer 40K or its upcoming online-enabled, turn-based strategy game for the DS, you could always replace the skull with a big "S" and pretend it's a spread-shot power-up from Contra!

Check past the post break for larger photos of the Warhammer 40K DS Lite and PSP mods.

THQ brings Warhammer 40K: Squad Command to the DS

Usually, when we were playing with figures they were of the GI Joe variety, but many of you fine readers out there probably engaged in some fierce combat with the Warhammer figurines. There were even entries into the video game arena, as the board-turned-video-game kept its strategic elements during its transition. Now, us who find ourselves so fond of handheld gaming, get a chance at seeing what the franchise is all about when Warhammer 40K: Squad Command comes to the DS later this year.

You might think we're crazy, upon heading over to THQ's official site and finding only a listing for the game on PSP, but we assure you the title will also be gracing the DS. And, as with the PSP version, should feature Wi-Fi Connect compatible gameplay to boot.
