Frankly, I don’t know much about this anime other than the fact that it features sassy redhead Yoko Littner with a Really Big Rifle™ and outrageously dressed for a sniper (if you can call a markswoman dressed in bikinis and boots with matching flame prints one). First heard of this beautiful lass from a 1/6 figure of a “real-life” Yoko by Max Factory at Kenny’s blog @ The Meditation Chamber.

Rogue Trader is a new Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay series (essentially a pen & paper RPG) published by Fantasy Flight Games, where you play as a titluar rogue trader – a swashbuckling spacefaring explorer/merchant of the 41st millenium or as one of the specialist crew members that accompany these courageous individuals on their journeys into the unknown searching for undiscovered worlds, lost civilizations and loot in the form of ancient relics or alien xenotechnology.

The game probably can be played solitaire but the best experience should be with 3 or 4 friends – five characters including Rogue Trader Sarvus Trask (below) are detailed in the sample adventure Forsaken Bounty which you can download as a glossy high resolution PDF for free at Fantasy Flight Games.

Arch-Militant Lorayne Thornhallow. A lovely lass who reminds me of Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of The Carribean movies

No time for pen & paper RPGs? Maybe these delightful wallpapers or the preview pages about the Explorator career path from the upcoming Core Rulebook may interest you then

If inquisitorial scenarios are your cup of tea, try the demo adventure Shattered Hoper for the Warhammer 40,000 : Dark Heresy series instead (also published by Fantasy Flight Games).

While I don’t have the patience or time to try out these Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay adventures, I do hope that Games Workshop will eventually turn some of these series into tactical turn-based computer games – I still have very fond memories of SSI’s Warhammer 40,000 : Chaos Gate, an X-COMish squad-based game where a company of Ultramarines square off against the hated Chaos Space Marines from the Word Bearers.

Download Rogue Trader : Forsaken Bounty and other assorted goodies from the official Fantasy Flight Games website. Credits go to Warhammer 40,000 blog Bell of Lost Souls for the info on this game.

Four wallpapers for the WWII RTS Order of War. Yes, WWII games have been done to death but hopefully this one is different as it garnered a Best Strategy Game Runner-up award at E3 2009 by IGN (along with three other games I must add – Hearts of Iron 3, East India Company and R.U.S.E)

It’s developed by Wargaming.Net (Massive Assault, Massive Assault Network 2) and published by none other by Square Enix of Final Fantasy fame and surprisingly for a Square Enix game, it’s gonna be available for the PC. Yay!

Download these wallpapers or the recently released demo at the official Order of War site at orderofwar.co.uk.

Originally caught these Rocket Riot wallpapers off THQ UK but the links there were broken

Rocket Riot is a side scrolling action game from Dutch games studio Codeglue and features a cute and rather unique art style. Apparently, it’s also the first Dutch developed game to be sold at Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) too
