This is a featured detailed hands-on preview of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (from developer and publisher THQ) coming to us from gaming website PlanetXbox360.com.

When someone mentions the Warhammer series, we usually think of a product on the PC, with the 40,000 (that’s the co-name, not the number of games) brand garnering numerous users with some splendid top-down action. But what about those who want to experience the joys of the game on a console? Well, while you won’t be getting anything deep or tactical, you will get a worthwhile action experience come this August, when THQ and Relic introduce Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine for Xbox 360. The game’s plot is simple. It revolves around a specifically rebuilt (and well armored) “ultramarine” by the name of Titus. He’s been called upon to Forge World, a place where evil green brutes known as Orks have pretty much dominated the planet. It’s up to Titus and his crew to clean house, a feat that doesn’t prove so easily, as these creatures are heavily armored and in no mood to leave. Luckily, Titus has a few tools of his own, letting him dish out his own brand of justice.
