I like strategy games I also like games with a historical line in it.
The best strategy game I ever played was: total annihilation.
Its an very old game but it has a great gameplay.
The one 1 prefer at this moment is: Assassins Creed 2.
Final Fantasy 11, Battlefield series, including the new Bad Company 2!
I love Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2 right now.
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.
