An anonymous reader writes "It seems that Relic's Dawn of War has gone gold, and is due out on September 20th. Published by THQ, Dawn of War is a Real-time Strategy game based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It's gotten a few previews so far - but why trust them when you can grab the demo? Unfortunately, a quick jog through Google didn't turn up any torrents."

Thanks to VE3D for pointing to a Lionhead Times interview discussing the unique-looking PC tech demo/game called Rag Doll Kung Fu, a side-project of Lionhead graphic artist Mark Healey. He explains of the demo he's been working on in his spare time: "You control the characters on screen with the mouse - there are no pre-scripted animations in the game - it's all up to you... this means you get to create your own style, and can act out whatever you feel like, and of course, if you really feel like it, you can have a fight." The page also includes screenshots and several links to a video trailer of the demo/game, which should be finished (for free download?) "this summer", though Mark is currently helping complete Lionhead's long-awaited Xbox title Fable.
