rothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is the third entry in the Brothers in Arms series of video games which follow a squad of men, of the 101st Airborne Division (502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment) led by the player-character Matt Baker, through the larger Allied Operations in World War II (with Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood being a spin-off from the main story which is set in the same time line as Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, except seen through the eyes of Corporal Joe "Red" Hartsock, who is a member of Baker's Squad, and with a slightly extended time line). This game once again puts players in the role of Staff-Sergeant Matt Baker during Operation Market Garden in the later stages of WWII.
The game will be released on the PlayStation 3, Windows, and the Xbox 360 on August 26th 2008.[1] The game has many new features, including the ability to command a further squad from a selection of new specialized units (bazooka teams and machine gun teams). When a command is issued, the player model uses hand signals to issue the command to his squad, just like the previous games in the series. The player also has the ability to take cover behind objects, in a manner similar to Rainbow Six Vegas, which is an integral part of the game's strategy. The AI has been drastically improved, and the player's team will adapt to whether or not they are seen by whispering. The AI also makes mistakes such as tripping, and helps each other when these mistakes are made. The game is built on the Unreal Engine 3 and the PC version can take advantage of the features in DirectX 10 which allows for an enhanced graphical experience for more realistic gameplay.

Brothers and Sisters (via GiantBomb) - The classic combination of pipes and owls. Considering how thoroughly imitated its been in the past 23 years, it's easy to forget that, when Super Mario Bros. first came out, it was an incredibly groundbreaking game. There was literally nothing else quite like it, particularly when it came to computer games, where the big games of the time included relatively stiff, dense titles F-15 Strike Eagle, King's Quest II, Ultima III: Exodus, and Wizardry II.

If you count my time in the Call of Duty: World at War Beta, my entire weeks worth of gaming has consisted of World War II and plastic guitars. I am sure you can take a guess at which I am enjoying more. Discuss (0) | Login to recommend | 3 months ago
Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway - Reviewed - Xbox 360 (via LazyGamer) - The game puts you into the helmet of Sergeant Matt Baker as he not only commands his squads through Operation Market Garden but also deals with some mental issues of his own.To be honest the game seems to be a semi rip-off of the Band of Brothers TV series.... The beginning of the story plays out in a way that reminds me heavily of some of the elements used in the "Lost" TV show and then pulls you back a few days, so that you have to play back up to that point.
