In the days of my childhood was not militants. Films with muscular guys hung with cartridge belts, were available only to "elected" - the owner of a rare while the VCR. We watched on TV movies about WWII. At the time, these films stand out a lot of money, provided equipment and protect the extras from the ranks of the armed forces. This leads to the grand epics, pierced, however, the ideology to such an extent, which does not inspire the boys to play the heroes of WWII. Masterpieces of World War gathered dust while on the shelves, and flammable children's imagination paintings was very little. The situation changed dramatically with the intervention of Hollywood. The screens out Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan." The film is about how a lot of soldiers are killed in order to return the mother's son - the triumph of justice and democracy, the victory of American troops over the German occupiers - let the world know who they are bound to win. Despite the strong amerikanizirovannost this film, in which battle scenes were set frighteningly realistic and spectacular. The film, which drew attention to the games industry in the Great Patriotic War. Starts booming gaming genre WWII (World War II). At this wavelength there are such well-known games for the PC as a "Stormtrooper», Call of duty, Medal of Honor. And then the developers could not hold on obscure sarcasm: one job, playing a Russian soldier, you become completely defenseless, following obscure figures in front and waiting when they get in order to take away the rifle. The war turned into a separate line in the gaming industry, which develops each year with the growing list of armed conflicts between countries. With each war, the number of games on a given topic increases. Some of them have something to teach, some are just being entertained. Some - just stick to the game is so fashionable and attractive for gamers word "war." Producers of games for handheld and then try to keep up. In anticipation of the holiday on May 9, we decided to review the war games, with special attention to the games dedicated to World War II, although here you will find a number of advanced military subjects. I remind you that all of the following games can be found in our "Programs". So, on pleeee-cho! Step ma-a-arsh!

But just reposed in Bose Evgeny incredible force of the spirit sent to the forefathers of Kurt Fleischer. In general, the inconsistencies in the game a lot. The sound sometimes disappears and is not synchronized with the pull of a trigger. People with square heads nervously running around the field. Despite the numerous hills, you can not climb on them. Not everything is in order also to the management - it was sometimes difficult enough force to move the tank forward, for some reason he regularly got lost on the ride side. Another big drawback - the target-driven stylus moves smoothly enough on the display, so sometimes get to the enemy turns out to be rather complicated. Nevertheless, the game has received generally positive reviews. This is indeed a watershed moment for gaming on the PDA. 3D starts gaining ground and winning.
