We like RTS games, because they force us to read the game manual. It’s nostalgic in an inconvenient way. But accessibility has rarely been a problem with Fireglow’s Sudden Strike series.

DescriptionWith its minimalist approach, this WWII RTS is somewhat lackluster in the level design but it's still an enjoyable romp nonetheless.

Hello! I'm the former Deputy Editor of Official Xbox Magazine, and worked on mags such as NGamer, Xbox World and PC Zone, so I definitely have some idea of what is and what isn't a video game. Outside of gaming, my hobbies include birdwatching, canoeing, tennis, ice hockey and travel - particularly to far-flung parts of the world where nature still rules supreme.
