    I'd never even heard of Avencast, but it got some decent reviews (69% on metacritic). If you like RPG's, then go for this. Soulstorm is a (standalone?) expansion pack for Dawn of War, do if you liked the first one, then you'll like this.

    My brother was telling me you can just instal Soulstorm and pop in the CD keys from the other games to get all races playable in it. Handy trick! Must get a copy of it soon...

    Only if you want to use the other races in multiplayer. If your going for single player you don't even need to do anything :) At least that's what the pop up says, input code to use <whatever races> in multiplayer.

    It's good so far, more of the same stuff from Dark Crusade, just more of it to crush under the boots of my marines.

    Sins of a solar Empire is also supposed to be good. Got it at just haven't got around to playing it yet.

    Penumbra: Black Plague is also fairly good, it's a first person explorer.

    Make sure you have a couple of days set aside per game, it's a bit like playing 20 games of Homeworld at once. Thank god it autosaves.
