Should be good, just looked at their back catalogue and everything's 8.3 or higher on IGN (out of 7/8 games).

Do we really need more World War 2 games flooding the market and glorifying an era which saw millions killed, persecuted and treated like mere animals?

I doubt it.

Ok, maybe it's not a world war 2 game :-).

Bonus, I started writing a post to justify what I thought about WWII games. You're point has got me stumped.

So erm...I really enjoy WWII games. I have a fascination with WWI and WWII, I would rather watch a program about WWII than the go and see the latest film.

It's weird.

But yeh, perhaps games shouldn't be made about something that was so terrible, but in alot of games today it brings home the affects of war. Such as in Brothers in Arms.

Reminds me of a game version of Seven.

WWII is an excellent setting for games.

Shooting Nazi's is excellent.

They are the ultimate 'no qualms about shooting you Fritz' badguys. Proper full on evil with no chance of any politically correct bull getting in the way of killing 1000's of them in a game.

Other than the fact that the game glorifies war and demeans the life-threatening job soldiers in the field have to carry out.

My main problem is that there are too many of them milking it as a cash cow, not against good games which further things.

Oh damn!

Better go have a go at GTA while your at it.

Glorifies killing innocent pedestrians... stealing cars...

How about WW2 games glorify people fighting fascism, extreme racism and genocide?

Oh but war's just always bad, perhaps if we'd just let Chamberlin get lied to for a few more years...
