‘Tis the season for giving (if you’re THQ), yeah, but ’tis also the season for receiving (if you’re you). So why not take care of both impulses and treat yourself to the $99 THQ “Collector Pack” now for sale on Steam.

You’ll get 13 titles - including Company of Heroes, Stalker, Titan Quest and Dawn of War - for your trouble, at a saving of $120 on their current retail price. If that makes you whimper “too rich for my blood”, there are two lesser packs that break the games up: the $60 “Action Pack”, which gives you four army-dude-shooter games from the Collector Pack but only saves you $5, and the $50 “Relic Super Pack”, which gets you the best games from the Collector Pack (ie Dawn of War & Company of Heroes, along with their expansions) at a $25 saving.

Less than a month after the official closure of the Homeworld 1 servers, Relic have let slip a few little hints (ok, big hints) about possible future installments.

Speaking to Eurogamer TV, Relic’s lead designer Jonny Ebbert confirmed that the company was pleased that THQ had regained the Homeworld IP and that there might be a third installment in the series under development.

“We’re really happy the IP has made its way home,” said Ebbert, “and yeah, we’re definitely looking at it. We’ll see what happens in the future.”

Fancy pre-rendered sequences? HAH. Droning developer diariy talkovers? NO THANK YOU. No, this one’s pure gameplay. Enjoy.

Not much here in this trailer for the upcoming expansion that’ll look any different to Company of Heroes fans, but the emphasis on driving right up to buildings then shooting them must be indicative of something. Maybe the Krauts liked to see the whites in the building’s eyes before they blew ‘em up, who knows.
