Relic's RTS Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is getting a third expansion, which is a standalone affair.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, to give it its full and lengthy title, features "an extensive interplanetary campaign spanning an entire star system" according to THQ and introduces two new races - one of which has been confirmed as the Dark Eldar.
On top of that, the existing seven races will be the recipient of new units, air units are being introduced and a medal system is being added to online multiplayer.
Plus, the "meta-game introduced in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is further expanded to an interplanetary scale in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, allowing players to battle across an entire star system."

Sports Interactive has revealed its demo line-up for Football Manager 2008. It consists of two tasters for both PC and Mac, each available from this Sunday morning.
The first is a "strawberry version" that has all the player mugshots, logos, and lets you quickstart in any of the world's biggest leagues. You'll be able to enjoy this in multiple languages, too.
Or you can download the more compact "vanilla version". This does away with the pictures, logos and foreign leagues, and focuses instead on the English tables so as to keep the demo size down.
SI is also keen to tell us it has French league licences this year, the Dutch national team licence, and those for Sampdoria and Fiorentina - who once sent my football team an entire replica kit because a friend's dad was Italian and used some tremendous smooth-talking powers to get it. Yes you did want to know that.
All of this coincides with new weekly blog updates about the game from Sports Interactive boss Miles Jacobson.
There have been three so far, kick started a couple of weeks ago with a look at the new gameplay. Running through details like varying pitch sizes affecting your tactics, it's clear there's much more depth this year than ever before - but new features like coach reports should help ease you into your managerial chair. For a closer look, head over to the gameplay blog.
Another area dissected was the shady business of transfers, bonuses and contracts. Eek. This year Miles Jacobson had a phonecall from a mysterious football agent asking him to pop over and natter about the game. On arrival he was told that all the players loved FM, but that it wasn't as accurate as it could be in the dotted line department. What followed was an in-depth run down of how it all works in real life, something SI has gone to great lengths to recreate. Eyeball the transfers, bonuses and contracts blog for more information.
News was the only other topic so far, an area that SI tries to expand each year to represent the massive media coverage the sport generates in many countries across the globe. Needless to say, then, that there are more options this year than you can shake a klaxon at, like being able to keep up to date with news not only about your team, but about all the others populating your league. Get over to that news blog to pick out the details.
We had a chance to get to grips with Football Manager 2008 recently, and predicted it would once again raise the genre bar. Catch up with our first impressions of Football Manager 2008 to see why.
A release date for Football Manager 2008 is yet to be finalised, although it will be out on PC before the end of the year. North American and South American versions will also be released.
Keep an eye on the official Football Manager 2008 website for the demo and new blog updates

The Championship Gaming Series will name its winners at the UK final this Friday, offering the successful gamers GBP 15,000 a year to play computer games.
The event will be held at the Three Mills Studio in East London, where players will compete at Counter-Strike: Source, Dead or Alive 4, FIFA 07 (I'm really good at that pick me), and Project Gotham Racing 3.
It will be on Sky One and Sky Two, too, so you can sit there eating spaghetti and pretend you could have won it but you just don't have the time to commit to it.
Once the winners have been crowned, they will be coached by the likes of Quake legend Sujoy Roy, before flying out to Los Angeles in December to take part in the World Championship.
Interestingly World of Warcraft is due to be added to the roster of titles to compete on next year. This will be done hand-in-hand with the Blizzcon event, where eight teams of two will compete to turn professional.
What are your thoughts on professional gaming, Eurogamer reader? Does it ruin the experience for everyone else, or is it great to see it getting the recognition it deserves?

Epic Games chief Mark Rein has said Unreal Tournament 3 will not feature cross-platform play between PC and PS3 at launch.
The news came from an IRC chat with site Beyond Unreal [is it 1996? - Ed].
"There will not be cross-platform play at launch," said Rein, before going to get a can of soda. "This doesn't completely rule out adding this feature at some point in the future."
The reason, according to "MarkRein[Epic]", was that it takes much longer to get a console build up and running because of lengthy certification processes - a problem also experienced by patches.
Synchronising the two, then, would mean constantly holding back PC users so the PS3 could catch up. This wasn't an option Mark Rein and his can of soda liked.
"Our PC fan base is of ultimate importance to us. They are our bread and butter. We can't let them down or compromise their experience in any way to accommodate cross-platform play," insisted Rein.
There you go; the PC is used for something other than spreadsheets. For more detail and any other questions you could possibly have thought of, head over to the Beyond Unreal IRC chat.
Unreal Tournament 3 will be released on PC and PS3 in November, followed by a 360 version at a later date.

Codemasters has refused to edit the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Clive Barker's Jericho for release in Germany.
The decision comes after the German ratings board USK declined to give the game a rating in the region.
"Following a review by the USK ratings board, which declined to give an official rating, Codemasters has decided not to change the artistic vision of the renowned author and film-maker Clive Barker though cuts and extensive changes," said the company in a statement sent to GamesIndustry.biz.
"Codemasters respects Mr Barker's creative ideas, despite the German distribution and marketing consequences for the title.
"Therefore Codemasters will release only the PC version of Clive Barker's Jericho in its original form for adult gamers and Clive Barker fans," confirmed the company.
The game is due for release in Europe on October 26, with a demo of the game due on Xbox Live tomorrow and on PlayStation Network next week.

EA has celebrated a decade of Ultima Online by inviting back those of you who have subscribed to the game at some point in the past.
You will be treated to nearly two full weeks of free gaming (ending 9th October), where you can enjoy the recent graphical overhaul of Kingdom Reborn.
EA will also give you a fancy Wand of Fireworks to mess up the sky with, as well as 10 Décor Tokens to, er, hang on a cow or throw at a rabbit or something.
The rest of the celebratory period will give you a chance to complete the full Virtue Armour set, get your hands on commemorative pieces like an Ankh Necklace and Map of Britannia, or swish around historical weapons owned by notable figures in the Ultima Online history. Other fun and valuable gifts will make the list at a later date.
Ultima Online launched back in 1997, and was one of the first titles to popularise the massively-multiplayer online role-playing genre. Most recently the Kingdom Reborn overhaul added a modern feel to the classic title, which still had enough charm in the tank to impress us.
Head over to the official website to download the client and rejoin the world, and see for yourself what has made Ultima Online last such a long time.

We should have expected it really - from observing GRAW - but the PC version of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed has been confirmed as releasing last.
Puffing and wheezing at the rear, Altair's PC action-adventure has been pushed back to early 2008, while PS3 and Xbox 360 cousins get to go na na na-na na as Assassin's Creed releases on console this November.
However, we don't think for one moment Ubisoft has done this to piss PC gamers off. Nope, it's surely just down to the PC iteration not being ready in time for Christmas.

Half-Life 2: Episode Three's release could mark the end of Valve Software's foray into episodic gaming, the developer explaining it'll be at a development crossroads once the finale is out in the wild.
"I think what we really want to do is have a couple of examples out there - Episode One, and how long it was to play and how long it took to develop, Episode Two, Portal and TF2 and then the third part of the trilogy; and then sit down with the community and say, 'OK, so what do you want?'", Valve's Gabe Newell told CVG in an interview set to materialise on these pages soon.
The benefits of episodic releases have included the ability to ship more technology to customers faster than if Valve were still waiting to ship another Half-Life 2-level monolithic project, Newell said. But once Episode Three is out "we just want to sit down with three examples in front of us and talk it over with gamers to find out what they would like us to do next".
"'Do you want us to do more episodes? Do you want us to really tighten down the time frames and look at the scope of what we're doing so that that's possible, for us to go back to the large monolithic projects?'"
Newell went on to explain that he'd also like to spend time with Sam & Max developer Telltale Games to share experiences with the episodic approach, along with Blizzard whose updates for WoW have been like "episodes in an MMO".

As Richard Garriott's sci-fi MMORPG Tabula Rasa edges ever closer to release, NCSoft has decided to thwap us around the eyeballs with a new set of screenshots.
The shots depict the game's Spy and Sniper classes. The former boasts such skills as Polymorph which allows players to assume to guise of enemy units, and in a nutshell the Spy specialises in the stealthy aspects of war.
The Sniper's obviously all about long-ranged attacks and firing from cover, aided by skills such as Called Shot with which you can target specific parts of an enemy's body.
Tabula Rasa launches on October 19.

The single-player demo of Crysis which we were expecting tomorrow has been delayed. Bah.
EA and Crytek have said that the taster will now not be out until October 26.
Whether or not the release of a little first-person shooter called Halo 3 this week has influenced the delay we can only speculate.
The official reason from Crytek is that it's "taking some extra time to make sure you that you have an amazing experience but also we did not want to risk the release date of Crysis at this stage.
"To get the game into your hands by November the 16th, we had to make this call", the developer's added.
You may recall that when EA first announced the original release date for the Crysis demo it was mentioned that there'd be a surprise from Crytek included. Well, the dev's chosen to reveal what that is - the CryEngine 2 - Sandbox 2 game editor.
Crytek's CEO Cevat Yerli has said the release of the game editor before the actual game ships is something the developer's always wanted to do.
Crysis, of course, is out November 16.

Nvidia is expected to announce tomorrow that it is planning to release new integrated graphics solutions for use on motherboards powered by Intel processors.
To date, according to a report on Reuters, Nvidia's integrated graphics market share on such motherboards is less than one per cent, compared to 62 per cent on boards powered by AMD processors.
The report claims that Nvidia's announcement will predict its new GeForce chips to give a performance comparable to a separate entry-level graphics card, as more and more mainstream users are using graphically rich programs and games.
The new range of GeForce chips will be compatible with Pentium, Celeron and Core 2 processors, as well as Intel's forthcoming range of Penryn products due for release in November.

Those of you enjoying the freshly redesigned Eurogamer TV may have noticed a new trailer for Hellgate: London this morning.
It offers an exclusive peek at the upcoming action role-playing title, specifically the Covent Garden tube station area of the game.
Tube stations are very important in Hellgate, you see, acting as hubs where you can shop, receive quests and meet friends.
But we wouldn't want you to get lost down there. It's dangerous, and you might bump into Typhoid Mary or Big Ben. So, in the first of many weekly guided tours around the devilishly gruesome environments of the game, developer Flagship will do the talking.
Hop on the tour bus and enjoy the ride.

Perpetual Entertainment has confirmed that Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising, an MMORPG in development exclusively for PC, has been delayed.
The studio also revealed it will be making between 30 and 40 members of staff redundant now that development on the title is complete and playtesting has begun.
Speaking to Gamasutra Perpetual boss Chris McKibbin said, "The size and bar of content creation is very high and requires a pretty sizeable team. The process of really play-tuning and balancing takes a much smaller, more focused and agile team, and so that is the transition right now."
McKibbin said Perpetual will help laid off staff to find work with other developers or may stick them on its other project, Star Trek Online.
He didn't give a firm release date for Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising but did say it will arrive in early 2008, attributing the delay to a need for more beta testing.
"We put a high value on listening to our beta community and then reacting and making those changes," McKibbin explained.
"We want to continue and give ourselves more time to do that, and give the community more time to play the game."
