*UPDATE 1* It looks like all three games are having serious issues right now. Personally I got Shadow of the Horned Rat and it crashed when loading the first battle. Apparently everyone is getting this and there is no known work around yet without the physical disc. Final Liberation and Chaos Gate are also having audio issues, lag issues, and crashing issues. Looks like these three weren't ready for recruitment. Hopefully GoG.com will step in and actually update and fix the issues present, if not it's back to looking for a physical copy of Shadow of the Horned Rat for me. *Three new games have appeared on Gog.com, and I am so excited right now I can barely type this. Everyone knows by now that I am a Warhammer fan, so my excitement should come as no surprise now that Warhammer is on GoG! Hit the break for my thoughts and some more ramblings.

I'm sitting here in my home office, surfing the internet before I go to my normal job. Now, though, now I see that Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, Epic 40,000 Final Liberation, and Warhammer Fantasy: Shadow of the Horned Rat are all available for the first time digitally on GoG. Why must I leave for work? Why can't I stay and play these epic games? I can look up at my video games and see the two prominently displayed boxes of Chaos Gate and Final Liberation. I bought them as part of my Warhammer video game collection, partly because I figured they would never come out digitally. I was still searching for Shadow of the Horned Rat...one day I'll have it in my grubby little hands.So what kinds of games are these anyway? Well, Chaos Gate is very much like X-Com. I know I mention X-Com alot, but this game is a turn based tactical RPG with an isometric view. You control a squad of marines that you outfit as you see fit, with more options available the farther you get. It's great fun,  but can be a bit buggy. Shadow of the Horned Rat is kind of like an early Total War game, though I haven't actually played it yet. Just watched a lot of videos online. Still, the graphics might turn a lot of people off from Shadow of the Horned Rat as they are...interesting. Finally we come to Final Liberation, and how best to explain it? Imagine X-Com or Chaos Gate but ramped up to 11. Squads of soldiers for every unit, tanks everywhere, walking battle mechs, this game is about the biggest and baddest from the Warhammer 40k universe fighting it out.

I will be checking these GoG versions out soon, as soon as I can, and I'll be posting my thoughts about those versions here. I'll also be streaming them because everyone should experience my joy when it comes to Warhammer. Are you excited about these releases? Are you curious how they got the rights squared away after all this time? Leave a comment below and let's discuss.
