Play This Now: Space Hulk Remake

Way back in the early days the PC was the home to niche genres like squad oriented turn-based strategy games and crazy hybrid puzzle-RPGs. Well, I guess they still are, more than ever, but anyway. Also back in these brave, olden times there was a fun but challenging turn-based strategy game set in the Warhammer 40K universe titled Space Hulk, in which you lead your squad of space marines through dark, cramped corridors fighting brutal alien foes. The game would've most likely been lost to time had it not been for the efforts of a little group called Teardown who created a full remake of the game. Titled, cleverly, Space Hulk, it is a carbon copy of the original with some improved visuals. If you like Warhammer 40K or turn-based strategy games it's worth a shot, also mostly because like all the other games, it don't cost nuthin'. Now if some other group of awesome nerds could get to work on a free remake of D/Generation, that would be fantastic.
