"Rangers go in first!" – so reads the tagline for CDV’s new strategy game, War Commander, presumably trying to invoke a gung ho image of your soldiers storming enemy positions, mowing down soldier after soldier, barely getting scratched in the process and clearing the way for the other soldiers who aren’t nearly as hard. But set during World War II, a war with battles resulting in a great number of casualties on both sides, the tagline might seem a little inappropriate. Mind you, that’s coming from someone who’s been going absolutely ape in Playstation2’s Grand Theft Auto, nicking vehicles and getting up to all sorts of hyper-violent shenanigans, call me a tad hypocritical.
