Space Hulk coming to PC in 2013 with co-op
If you missed Games Workshop's recent reissue of Space Hulk, or simply enjoy purging impure aliens from derelict space ships, good news! A new video game adaptation is in the works for PC, Mac and iOS, staying true to the classic turn-based Warhammer 40,000 board game but packing lovelies like a co-op mode and cross-platform play.

Space Hulk sees Space Marines clad in their finest and fanciest Terminator armour boarding hulking great derelict ships to clear out an infestation of naughty Tyranid Genestealers. It's attempting to recreate the tense tabletop experience, with Games Workshop saying "It's a turn-based game that emulates the look and feel of the board game, but with full 3D animation."
Along with 12 missions based upon the 'Sin of Damnation' campaign from Space Hulk's third edition, it'll pack cross-platform co-op and competitive multiplayer, and a level editor to share cruel creations with chums across the Imperium of Man.
Electronic Arts released a Space Hulk adaptation way back in 1993, and a sequel in 1995.
The new one is due in 2013, developed by Frontline Tactics maker Full Control. Don't miss the delightfully retro official website and announcement trailer:

It's less appropriate if you can't be certain that at least 72% of your audience was a teenage boy in Britain at some point between 1989 and 2002.

ABOUT SPACE HULK
Based on the best-selling board game and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Space Hulk is a 3D digital turn based strategy game that recreates the classic claustrophobic board game experience for single player and multiplayer cross-platform play between PC, Mac and on iOS.
Space Hulk is set in the isolated corridors and tomb-like chambers of an ancient vessel lost in the graveyard of space. Players lead a small army of fearless Space Marine Terminators to battle in a ferocious fight for survival against hordes of predatory alien Genestealers.
The main features are
Blood Angel terminator squad
Fearsome Genestealers with challenging AI
Thematic 3d environment
Single player campaign based on the "Sin of Damnation" hulk
New coop multiplayer levels against the Genestealer AI
Multiplayer head-to-head recreating the board game experience against a friend
Cross platform multiplayer between PC, Mac and iOS
Level editor with ability to share creations
Game expansions in the future as DLC
Cross platform play, you say. -
1993 PC game was so awesome, played the hell out of it. Sweet intro, multiple viewscreens for the terminators ala Aliens, a cool pause system that would build up a "bank" of time available for pausing over time. Although I still remember how pretty much any weapon other than bolter no meant YOU DIED no matter how awesome said other weapon should have been.
