Faces of War (Review)

Sep 27, 2006

You wont construct bases, produce units, or command vast forces in Ubisofts latest WWII real-time strategy Faces of War. No, this time, the Great War takes its cues from a completely different genre.

This feature works well with the ...

The force of the explosion rolls it forward (smirk), crushing a few of its foot soldier allies (smirk). Without the tank, ...
