Jun 6, 2015 · Since Modern Warfare came out, World War II games have kind of gone out of style. But for much of gaming’s history, Nazi-killing was as common as treasure chests. They’re the perfect bad guy, really.

Before becoming a nerd household name with games like Pirates! and Civilization, one of the games that legendary designer Sid Meier cut his teeth on was this ahead-of-its-time WWII submarine simulator. Incredibly realistic for its time (1985), Silent Serviceallowed patient players the chance to take control of a submarine as it made its patrol roun...
There can be just as much value to a video game that uses WWII more as the backdrop for its story than taking place directly within the war itself. As anyone who has seen the Last Crusade movie knows, setting plays a key role in the story of Indiana Jonesand his father going after the fabled Holy Grail. There's also the matter of players encounteri...
In most WWII action games, sniping is relegated to dedicated "sniper levels," or more commonly, just specific sniping setpieces within otherwise standard levels. To be a skilled military sniper isn't something that any soldier can become just because they stumbled across a sniper rifle leaning up against a wall near an open window or on a rooftop--...
While the most iconic image of WWII is of soldiers violently storming the beach at Normandy on D-Day in a massive hail of gunfire, as graphically depicted in Saving Private Ryanand video games on this very list, the reality is that much of war involves sneaking and being tactical. This aspect of WWII is where Hidden & Dangerous 2takes its design cu...
The video game branch of Lucasfilm-- at this point known as Lucasfilm Games-- didn't just take on WWII passively behind the fedora of Indiana Jones.

It's always refreshing to see WWII from another angle, especially a non-American one, as the majo...
For those that want to experience a WWII submarine simulator but can't stand to go all the way back to an ancient one from the mid-80s, the excellent Silent Hunter III is the way to go. Rather than having a predetermined sequence of missions, Silent Hunter IIIwas designed to automatically generate enemies and other tasks as the player patrols a giv...
While most of the major WWII video game franchises have made appearances on both consoles and PC, there is one series that PC gamers have been greedily keeping to themselves-- the Red Orchestra tactical FPS games. Console gamers should definitely be jealous, as the second Red Orchestragame in particular is perhaps the most enjoyable multiplayer-foc...
Part parody of and part tribute to Marvel and DC comic book characters of the '80s and '90s, Freedom Forcewas a terrific tactical RPG that accomplished the rare feat of having original superheroes who didn't suck. The game's one and only sequel took an interesting turn by having the heroes time travel back to WWII in order to help the Allies win th...
Sure, it's great when a WWII game focuses on a detailed depiction of one specific job or facet of combat. But it's also pretty awesome when you have an entire fleet at your command, as you do in the tactical action game Battlestations: Midway. With both land and sea vehicles to dispense, Midway makes you feel like an army general with tremendous po...
