This latest edition of the popular World War II first-person shooter franchise will let you venture into battle to liberate Europe from the Nazi grip. The 82nd Airborne had quite the European Tour, and Medal of Honor: Vanguard lets you experience it from beginning to end. After Italy you’ve got a little thing called D-Day to deal with, and then you’ll head over to Holland for Operation Market Garden, and finally into the heart of Germany during Operation Varsity. And don’t think you’ll stick around to take in the sights either. But don’t think this is an Italian vacation there are several thousand crack German troops who won’t want you marching up the boot so easily. Listen up soldier! As a member of the elite 82nd Airborne Division you’re gonna jump into action beginning with Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily. The game includes 10 multiplayer maps, with fully destructible environments, where up to 32 players can get in on the action with WWII armor. In truth this was where the underpowered American Sherman actually did very well against older German tanks, such as the Panzer IV, so it makes for a very level playing field during the single player campaign and this carries on in the robust multiplayer mode.
You can play as both as the Allies or the Axis in a very balanced game. controlled airplanes, anti-tank guns and even enemy tanks stand in your way and you’ve got to take them out. You get to drive a tank and lead your forces into battle, and this is enough to make for some mindless entertainment.ĭunes of War gets the simple things right. Like the film from long ago, Dunes of War makes no sense – but it really doesn’t have to. This game pretty much offers the same senseless fun. Joe Gunn (seriously that’s his name) is a tank commander fighting in the North African desert against the vile Nazis. One of the very first “propaganda” films made by the United States after its entry into World War II was a film starring Humphrey Bogart called Sahara (not to be confused with the awful Matthew McConaughey film of the same name). On this anniversary of D-Day, which began the liberation of Europe (and made for an impressive scene in Saving Private Ryan 9 years ago), we look at some of the military sims that will put you on the front lines.
It is time to lock and load, and get ready to sortie. Strategic games that let you play as an “armchair general” can be just as exhilarating.
And war games not need be limited to first-person shooters. Several games have slipped under the radar this spring, and these offer salvos of action. While upcoming titles such as the newly announced Call of Duty 4 and the next Brothers in Arms are still months away, you can get in on the action now. Yet conflict makes for a good backdrop for gaming.
