First of all, it's been a while since I have been able to write up some game reviews of some notable games. First, nothing has really come out that has caught my attention. Secondly, the ones that have come out, I have been playing to much. I have little time to write reviews. Yeah, I know, I know... crack the whip and get it in gear Mike. You slacker! So, when Hilbert emailed me saying, "look buddy, get a couple reviews out or I am coming over there and I'm going to jam an oar up your ass!" (TM Tommyboy_line932), I figured I better do the right thing, and let people know about a couple games out on the market that are worth buying.

Introduction
Battlefield 1942 is one of those games. While the publicity is pretty much over and people have already been fragging others for months, it just does NOT get old. What makes this game so addictive? Multiple vehicles? Tons of players? Nice multiplayer goals? Realistic maps? Combine all those into one game, albeit with one of the most horrid single player scenarios in history, and you have Battlefield 1942.

As you can tell, more than enough players to waste on a daily basis!

Taking place of course in the World War 2 arena, players from all over the world can log in and essentially fight a real life war. The difference between this and most shooters however, is the amazing selection of weaponry. Now, all you Rambo nuts, don't worry - you can still go around and pluck people off with machine guns, knives, pistols, grenades and sniper rifles. But in addition, you can man planes, flying them while bombing and strafing, put a 3 man crew on a B-17 bomber, man island shore battery gun turrets, drive tanks, jeeps, trucks, rocket vehicles, and if you think that is more than enough, you can also man submarines, helm destroyers, carriers and battleships, as well as man AA guns and artillery cannons. Had enough? Need more selection? About the only thing that comes close to this would be to hop in a Delorean and bribe Emmit Brown $50.00 for a ride back to 1942.
