"The game is so addictive, THQ should be required to put a warning label on it," said Jason Carlton, director of Gaming Operations at the GGL.  "I normally only play First Person Shooter games, but DoW’s gameplay is fast and furiously exciting.  Look for it to make waves across traditional community boundaries." 

"We're very pleased with the response Dawn of War has received from consumers and critics.  We think gamers will have a blast playing the game for years to come and we're happy to be working with GGL to turbo charge the development of our competitive community," said Ron Moravek, general manager, Relic Entertainment.
