There have been quite a few reviews of Company of Heroes that begin their critique by ridiculing the industry for producing too many strategy games set in World War II. This kind of argument is specious because the industry produces what they believe will sell. If you’d rather see a game that depicts the invasion of Grenada, please, be my guest, I’m sure you’ll sell a few copies; with emphasis on few. There’s a reason so many police and lawyer shows fill your channel guide: people watch them. WWII has been turned into thousands of books and hundreds of movies and I see no sign of it dissipating. Perhaps what reviewers should ridicule is the quality of WWII games, which range from utter garbage to an occasional masterpiece, like Call of Duty or the Medal of Honor series.
