Here's a free Space Hulk clone PC game: Alien Assault.

I just downloaded it so I can't say much but it seems pretty cool so far.

Holy crap. I wonder how long it took to build all that!

Alien Assault actually used to carry the name Space Hulk and be a pretty decent adaptation of the old PC game. The developers, Teardown, pitched the game to THQ in hopes of getting a retail release (THQ holds the 40k license) but they got turned down. As a result, TD renamed all the assets in their game and changed the artwork to what it is now. It is pretty fun but the rules are based on SH 2nd Edition and there is no multiplayer so its fun to waste time with but I don't see it as an alternative to what I have. :)

There is something about sitting around a table with friends instead of staring at a computer screen. No matter how good videogames get face to face interactions with good friends are far superior.

Indeed, but I'm not at all opposed to playing online since getting everyone together at the same time isn't always an option. We have a game night once per week though and its always good fun.

I really miss my monthly "lan night" I used to host. At the time in my townhouse, the whole upstairs loft area was just for gaming. I would have 8-10 people, 2 rows facing each other on a long table. We would start around 3 pm and play until the next morning. My wife would cook all kinds of food and bake cakes, cookies, ect., and make coffee all night. We stopped once around midnight to watch a movie or for the wusses to take a nap. Me and my buddy even set up a cool intranet webpage on a server so people could download iso's of games we where playing they did not have, mods, patches, maps. I still have dedicated servers set up for games like BF1942, UT, HL and a lot more.

Now my computer room is only big enough for like 4 people, its a small bedroom. I also have a house I am always working on, 2 year old, ect., so more responsibilities.
