Lowest price around?

This week’s deal yields a real-time strategy title exclusive to the PC at a low price.

Dawn of War II (PC)$9.99/£9.99 $4.99/£4.99

This download will net you a potential of 1000 gamerscore. As many of you achievement fanatics may know, Dawn at War II was one of the first titles to reach 2000G through the Chaos Rising standalone expansion. The game and the expansion can be played separately but each offer their own 1000G that are added together to one base score.

If you’re just interested in Dawn of War II, this Deal of the Week is decently priced. If you want to potentially earn a full 2000 though, your best bet might be buying the physical Gold Edition of the game which contains both Dawn of War II and Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising. The Gold Edition can be found on Amazon for pretty cheap; not too much more then this download and eligible for free super saver shipping if you have more shopping to do.

(Links to the Gold Edition on Amazon located here for the US and here for the UK)

Great game, but bad deal. I got them both from a Steam sale $5 and I think Amazon sells a cheap bundle.

That's hard to resist! And since both the game and 1000G DLC are like $8, I'm picking this up for sure.

Having a quick look through the list the ratio seems to be inflated by a few multiplayer achievements. Other than that I think a large part of it is down to the fact that people only bought one half of it and then never bothered with the other half.

I'm not sure if I prefer the DoW2 style, isn't it you have a set amount of units per mission, and you can't build any more?

You have your hero units and you have the grunts that get reinforced while moving through the level at checkpoints. Not an overly difficult game, And quite a lot of fun with a friend.
Below is a video of mission 2 of the campain a good example of what to expect from the games campain.

This is an amazing game and its not too hard of a 2000. The boosting takes a while since you need 100 wins and playing with a good co-op partner on Chaos difficulty is a lot of fun. I would recommend this game to anyone. I don't even like RTS games and I loved it.
