Any WWII Navy submariner in the war-torn Pacific theater of the 1940’s would have been impressed by the realistic aspects of Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific. But whether or not he’d have enjoyed reliving some of his more harrowing war-time experiences in computer game format remains to be seen. Fortunately for the rest of us, curious civilians don’t have to risk sweat-drenched flashbacks in order to have a little fun in the deep, blue yonder, sinking enemy ships.
