After reinvigorating WWII in popular culture with Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg and DreamWorks Interactive used that beachhead to conceive, produce, and write a more kid gloves companion piece game. End result: they triggered a decades-long landslide of shooters themed on virtually every major battle undertaken by The Greatest Generation (not to mention the unintended creation of a rival <strong>Call of Duty<\/strong> franchise). <\/p>\n<p>Personally, I <em>adored<\/em> the Nazi-blasting, disguise-wearing OSS saboteur antics of MoH.
