I just cannot stop laughing out loudly http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPad/Warhammer+40,000:+Chess+-+Regicide/feature.asp?c=59490
Hahaha, I see his point, but I don't actually think it's such a big deal, and he obviously exaggerated a bit.
At least they got boltguns right, in fact those are awesome boltgun animations and sounds I might add.
That was pretty funny, but of all the board games, I don't think chess is a big deal, it's the mother of all strategy games. Still, this game is indeed another case of "what the hell is going on with the 40k franchise?"
If the quality of the units are going to look like this ingame, then I'm impressed. Let's hope EC can match this quality.
