Gamer's Gate (or as I like to call it Not Steam) announced today that they have added two new THQ titles to their service.  Starting today you can now purchase, download, and play Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Soulstorm and Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights.  While both of these titles represent opposite ends of the spectrum it's nice to see more games going digital.

Warhammer^® 40,000^TM: Dawn of War^® – Soulstorm^TMand Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights live on GamersGate

Leading PC digital distribution platform GamersGate announced today that Warhammer® 40,000™: Dawn of War® – Soulstorm™ and Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights for PC are available for direct download on http://www.gamersgate.com.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm is the third and final expansion to the genre defining and critically acclaimed RTS, Dawn of War.  In Soulstorm, two new armies are introduced, raising the total number of playable armies in Dawn of War to an unprecedented count of nine while also adding additional units to all existing factions.  The revolutionary meta-game that was introduced in Dark Crusade is further expanded to an interplanetary scale, allowing players to battle across a star system.  Combined with its sister products, Soulstorm makes Dawn of War the largest and most detailed RTS ever released.

Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (HIN) evolves the current street racing scene, letting players experience the culture of the real-life HIN tour, the nation's largest lifestyle custom car show in an intense racing experience. Featuring track and drift racing at real-world locations around the globe, next-gen AI and unparalleled vehicle customization, Juiced 2: HIN brings street racing to life, allowing players to test their skills at live street racing events against a back-drop of DJs, models and musicians. Groundbreaking new features include addictive drift/powersliding races and "Driver DNA" that tracks gamers' personal driving traits. These profiles, along with the profiles of select celebrities will be available for download across all online gaming systems. Racing developer Juice Games has evolved the game-play that revolutionized online racing, giving players the power to create their car, assemble their crew and put it all on the line in intense pink slip and crew races. Gamers will also be able to bet cash on each event, bringing a gambling element to the game that greatly increases the importance of each race.
