At gamestop you are required to pay a minimum of 5 Dollars to pre order a game. If you do it early enough (while supplies last) you will usually get some kind of in-game bonus for pre ordering (which will come as a code on your receipt when the game releases) you have (i believe) 48 hours after the game releases to come pick up your game. After that you will still get your pre order bonus code, but they might have sold all their games and you will have to wait for their next shipment you can also choose sometimes pre order limited versions that will give you random bonus things.
Like for Black Ops I got a ribbon with a Black Ops medallian on it hope this helped.
I've picked a game up a month after it came out. Whether they still held my copy of not I don't know, but there were plenty of copies to go around. Best bet is call and ask what their specific policy is.
You can typically pay as little as $5 to reserve a copy.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
