THQ has had the Warhammer 40,000 PC/Video game license from Games Workshop for several years now. They company has released a poorly received first person shooter (Fire Warrior)and a highly regarded RTS game series, (Dawn of War) based on the Warhammer 40K property with Dawn of War II and an upcoming MMO already announced.

However it looks like the publisher is planning to bring the franchise into yet another genre; the third person action shooter game. Leaked footage found its way to YouTube which displays about nine minutes of footage (taken from an Xbox 360 version) from what is titled Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. The footage show some early but what looks like highly playable scenes from the game as the Space Marine of the title deals a lot of damage to its foes with some impressive looking graphics. No developer was revealed for the game and there's no indication when it might be released.

Last week Yahoo debuted the final US trailer for Max Payne, the upcoming action movie based on the Remedy developed game series. But you haven't seen anything yet. Yahoo's UK division has the international version of the trailer available to check out as well.

This new version has a number of scenes that were not shown in last week's US trailer and still looks plenty cool with lots of supernatural-like elements, great looking fire effects and plenty of shooting, glass shattering and the like. Can Mark Walhberg make us forget that the studio making Max Payne, Twentieth Century Fox, also made the very crappy adaptation of Hitman last year? We will see when the Max Payne film heads for theaters on Oct. 17.
