I couldn’t have been more thrilled to reprise the role of Staff Sergeant Matt Baker of the 101st Airborne Division in Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway. After all, it’s been years since a truly great WWII shooter has graced the market. And while the genre has definitely been over-saturated, I’m always willing to make room for one more in my collection if it’s of the stature of the Brothers in Arms series.

The Call of Duty franchise is like no other. Among the sea of World War 2 themed games that have been released over the past few years, the COD series has continued to stand out and lead the pack as one of the most intense and memorable game experiences.

I’m not gonna beat around the bush here… Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 is one of the best games I’ve ever played, hands down. You can’t even compare the dozens of other WWII FPS to it – there’s simply no comparison. BIA is such a unique experience that it soars above the rest in a place all it’s own.
It’s based on a true story with the highest level of accuracy and authenticity I’ve seen in a game. Not that I’m a WWII expert or anything – but they’ve…

I know I’m a bit late writing about this now – as it came out in like September of last year. I actually picked it up the day it was released, but never got around to really playing it until now. The main reason was, the second level in – there were so many dudes on screen that it chugged like a mo’fo. I toned it down to medium details and it didn’t make enough of a difference. And being the nerd I am – I like my games to look the best they can……
