The standalone expansion for Company of Heroes offers some interesting novelties but nothing like a complete package. Read Review
The expansion to the hit realtime strategy title, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor features new campaigns to overcome, units to command, and battlefields to conquer. The expansion delivers evolved gameplay mechanics and three episodic adventures including nine new missions, as well as new abilities to master.
Relic's Dawn of War II was a big departure from what fans of the original game expected.
