Game: Castle Vox

It's the history buff's ultimate fantasy: bearing direct witness to some of man's greatest and most decisive combats. In Castle Vox, you jump into the boots of a military strategist, going toe-to-toe with forces like the Axis Powers in World War II, or leading the Carthaginians against the Romans. And that's just the tip of the tank's turret—or the tip of the javelin, depending on which era you're bent on taking over. The game's a little much for the typical casual gamer, but can be a fun divide-and-conquer title nonetheless.
