James sat down to talk about seven World War I games he recommends, with genres ranging from FPS to "velociraptor-running-away in trench simulator" and, of course, grand strategy. And yes, he finally got to finish Valiant Hearts, too!

The first person shooter Verdun puts you directly in the shoes of a soldier fighting with a squad in multiplayer co-op, while grand strategy games like Commander: The Great War and To End All Wars put you in charge of the entire Allied or Central forces. Valiant Hearts tells a more human, personal story of individuals struggling to survive. Rise of Flight offers a documentary level of historical accuracy as a World War I flight simulator. Finally, you can look back at the conflicts that drove the 19th century to the brink of war with Victoria II. Plus! A Halloween special: James Recommends 1916: Der Ubenkannte Krieg (The Forgotten War), a first person horror game about a panicked soldier fleeing from dinosaurs in the trenches. It's free and you can play right in your browser! BONUS!

Western front WW1 after the crazy meat grinder I had with Russia in Heart of Iron. (bad when you mistake a tank destroyer for an anti tank gun in production only to realize it will delay new units by about 6 months!) still, with what we know now, it could really change things up for how WW1 was fought. I'll have to check that one out if I ever get another 100 odd hours to burn!
