THQ wants you to get your (epic) groove on …
There’s a lot of things to love about Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, including the setting, the gameplay, the delightful levels of over-the-top violence, and the soundtrack. If you’re a particularly big fan of that last line item, then good news: THQ is going to commercially release a two-CD collection of the game’s music next month.
