Everyone recognises the big brand names, like Command & Conquer for example, and often choose these first rather than go with a title that they have never heard of. Although to be fair, video games are not the only form of retail item to suffer in the same way. This rings true for the latest real-time strategy offering from Kalypso Media, Officers. Many will overlook the game in order to play the next big-brand RTS game, but in doing so will miss out on some of the biggest battles ever to grace the RTS genre. Read on to find out why PC RTS fans shouldn't miss out."

In this last decade developers have tried everything to innovate the setting, from including prototype aircraft to bringing zombies, werewolves and vampires onto the field – but there's no escaping the fact that the WWII well has long run dry. It's a disheartening experience, hopping from one World War II game to the next and re-enacting the same few dozen battles no matter which game you play."
Trevor reviews the large scale World War II RTS for the PC. And despite the small scale launch that appears to be hampering the game online, offline it appears to be rather good.

At the time, commanding armies in large scale battles was so exciting, and while I've never been particularly brilliant at this genre, I'll quite happily sit and spend hours trying to lead my men to victory. One thing I've learnt while playing these games is while games may only sometimes last 20 minutes, you often need patience for your plans to pay off."
