Battlestations: Pacific Debut Trailer

7:00AM Mike Fahey | Nothing says World War II game like a trailer that kicks off with a Frankie D quote. If you aren’t willing to pony up words of wisdom from Mr. Roosevelt or Winston Churchill, you might as well just make a plain vanilla generic war game and call it a day.

It’s moody, historic, and unintelligible to the majority of our readership. I call that a win. More »

BattleStations: Midway Gets Sequel

11:30PM Luke Plunkett | Last year’s Battlestations: Midway was a great idea! Letting you jump from ship to plane to submarine in a battle is every History Channel junkie’s dream.

It’s largely the same deal, though interestingly it’s also letting you take control of the Japanese forces, with two single-player campaigns on offer, one for each side (the first game only had a US campaign). Virtually distasteful kamikaze, anyone? Eidos reassumes Battlestations [GameSpot] More »
