Took me a long time to warm up to the DoW 2 style of RTS. But now that I have I am really looking forward to DoW 2 Retribution... here's why.
1. No GFWL - THQ is going Steam only. This has moved Retribution up to day 1 purchase as opposed to ridiculous Steam sale price only.
2. 6 Playable Races! - Not only are they all playable, you can choose your race and customize your ARMY (Read: not just a few units) for the SP campaign. I am seriously stoked about this.
Today THQ announced some bundles based on races ($30/each), that give you fancy War Gear, available at your usual digital distributors and THQ. There is also a Retail bundle (only available at THQ IIRC) for $40 that gives you all the Race bundles together and some other stuff.
