For all of you shooter fans who are looking into the new Warhammer 40K Space Marine but have no experience with the franchise, the devs released a little diary to give you all a clearer understanding of the plot of the universe, at least enough that the game's plot would make sense. They also show off some gameplay, which is looking pretty Gears-ish, in a good way. Definitely looks like they'll follow up on their promise to keep the gory nature of the universe intact.

Hit the jump for the diary, and Space Marine is set to come out this summer for PS3, 360, and PC.
