Was Dawn of War any good to begin with? I never played it, though I know some people 'round these parts enjoyed it.

Sucky campaign but enjoyable skirmish/multiplayer. Try out the demo first I would say, but it's hard not to love all those races and the "squadfactory"-gameplay.

Hopefully they removed that Ati-slowdown bug. It ain't easy to alway reconvert back to Catalyst 5.6 if you want to play without sluggish framerate.

I thought it was one of the best RTS games made in years. It features squad based combat, emphasis on combat over base building, and just well done combat animations. There is a demo, why don't you download it and try that.
