Mafia was brilliant and mostly unrecognized and ignored - I hope part 2 gets the recognition it deserves...assuming of course that it's as good as the original, and doesn't go the Deus Ex route.
In Far Cry, whenI can hear the trigens getting closer, but don't know where they are, especially when I'd find out they're behind me.
Any game that you can spend more time trying to sneak around, rather than run and gun only, will usually have more potential of scaring the sh*t out of you.
The problems Vista is having is why I'd be very suprised if any DX10 games such as Bioshock are released in 2007. There are way too many of us that are holding off buying Vista and therefore any games requiring it, until the issues are addressed and a SP is released. The game makers know this would have a huge impact on sales, so I think we'll keep seeing trailers and screenshots only of most DX10 games for quite awhile.
I think with a little creativity it could be done and done in a fun way. Perhaps missions behind the lines and not just trench battles.
Games and movies would make it seem like WW2 was over 5 years of non-stop action, but the majority of the time there was a whole lot of nothing going on, especially from the perspective of the infantry soldier. Most battles occurred in short bursts, particularly in Europe. The main difference is that the fronts tended to move one way or the other, while the WW1 lines were fairly static, but no less intense when the madness started.
I recently watched A Very Long Engagement (fantastic french movie!) and The Lost Battalion, both WW1 movies, both excellent, and thought the same thing...this is an ignored period that I would love to be immersed in.
I also think there should be more games recognizing the brutal pacific theater of WW2.
