Like many guys, I have had a strange life-longinterest in World War 2. Here are some great WW2 games that made an impression on me:
Sniper Elite (PC)Great game. Difficult and bloody, but great.
Silent Storm (PC)Great game. Really fun squad based combat with a huge variety of WW2 weapons. The story is not historical, though (i.e. it's fantasy set in WW2...or at least alternative history).
Call of Duty 2 (PC)My favorite Call of Duty game by miles. I think it's the best WW2 first person shooter done in the arcade ****ever (when played with Lt. Spier's realism mod).
Death to Spies (PC)Fun in small doses. It's a Hitman or Thief or even Metal Gear/Splinter Cell stealth game set in WW2. So far so good.
Silent Hunter III (PC)This game is so good that it is insane such a game could exist. I really like SHIII. Have not had the chance to try many of the mods....or SHIV.
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (PC)Old school, but this one is my 2nd favorite WW2 flight sim. (Sorry, Sturmovik).
Aces of the Pacific (PC)Another old school game, but it stands as my favorte WW2 flight sim. Sturmovik is probably better...and I have not tried Aces High 2).
Hearts of Iron II (PC)There are probably 20 WW2 strategy games that I own. My problem is that I have a hard time enjoying WW2 strategy games. HOI2 is the WW2 strategy game that held my interest the longest.
Battleground Europe: World War II Online (PC)Now THIS is a game that every person with an interest in WW2 should try. It is a unique experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 (PC)Great, great, great single player First Person Shooter. Not as epic or polished as Call of Duty 2, but it is something that ought to be played.
Well that's about it. I thought the Medal of Honor series were too Steven Spielbergish...felt too cliche and Hollywoodish, if that makes sense.
I couldn't stand Company of Heroes, probably because I'm not a big Real Time Strategy fan. Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2 was fun but too damn difficult.
I would really like to try WWII Battle Tanks: T-34 vs. Tiger (PC)
Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm (PC) is a greatTurn Based Tactical Strategy WW2 game...tough, but good. Better than Theatre of War (PC)I think. I'm not sure, though.Theatre of War (PC)is Real Time and pretty good.
I would say I enjoyed Panzer Command more than either the Close Combat or Combat Mission series.
Just some random thoughts about WW2 games. Anyone have some others toinclude or any comments? Thanks.
