WWII games generally get a bad rap at his point in the collective history of gaming, but considering how formative it was for the modern world, hating it is like hating fire.
Others, for whom, WWII lives on in digital battlefields where there are never enough fascists to kill, games like Paradox Interactive's Hearts of Iron III: For the Motherland are there to ensure no digital Axis soldier (or Allied soldier, if that's what your into) goes unperforated. Due for release on the PC in Q2 2011, it will allow gamers to command any nation in the largest conflict in human history.
For the Motherland is the second expansion for the critically acclaimed, and arguably, grandest WWII strategy game ever made. Features include War Goals, a new Partisan system, the ability to seize strategic resources, improved internal politics, a new coup system, and a battle scenario system with several unique mini-campaigns.
Man, that makes me wish I had a gaming-quality PC.
