I've searched a bit through their released games list.
So much bad games... No wonder why they've gone bankrupt.

The do have a few nice games, like Dawn of War for example, but their bad to good title ratio is astonishing.

DoW and CoH are pretty awesome games, never tried the rest of them though.
