Were on the Road to Nowhere.

What is this game about? - World War 2 Shooter that moves away from the usual Run and Gun Format

The emphasis is on laying down covering fire and flanking the enemy. You order your troups to attack, advance, retreat and use covering fire.

Brothers In Arms has been carving itself a nice niche with the emphasis on strategy and cover as opposed to outright slaughter. The main hook of this series revolves around suppressing fire by ordering your squad mates to fire on enemies, you can keep them forced behind cover for long enough to flank them. It's a system that works very well and makes for pleasing tactical pockets of combat.

This game is out now.

New Games Release XBox 360

As much about tactics and intelligent deployment of troops as it is about killing Germans.

This hugely atmospheric adventure sees Matt Baker of the 101st Airborne Division get stuck in to Operation Market Garden.

History relates that it was doomed. The challenge here is to emerge with honour intact and, if you're reaching the end of the road with Call of Duty 4, it's timing counldn't be better.
