Rogue Trooper is a better blue guy story than Avatar

  • In the all-new old game Rogue Trooper, you play as the Blue Man Group in their quest to blow up anybody who isn't blue. This somehow makes them the good guys of the game. There are cute dinosaur creatures named Stamels as well. Overall I give this game my "Gamer's Choice" seal of recommendation .

    Fun fact: Rogue Trooper may be the reason why Warhammer 40k is called Warhammer 40k. You see, back in the day, the company that owned warhammer made a game based on the 2000 ad comic rogue trooper. Originally they wanted to name the sci-fi spin off of warhammer fantasy Rogue Trader. However, it was too similar to Rogue Trooper, so they added the Warhammer 40k part to it. At least that's what I heard, take it with a slight grain of salt but still

    2000 AD was my favourite comic which my dad bought for me on a regular basis so I always had the heads up on many of the characters from Judge Dredd to Rogue Trooper to Strontium Dog to so my wonderful story's!
    I for one wish a game publisher and dev team would A: Remake Rogue Trooper/Judge Dredd, B: Take a strong look at ( Invasion ) Volgan story arc, C: Use THARG the comics ceo to branch off these different aspects.
    So Rogue baby, come back to us, we need you 👉
