Continue Play's Peter Yankowski looks back at Gearbox's WW2 FPS. "The third game in the original series Hells Highway - was finally released in 2008. Its that gap, I think, that sealed the series fate. By the time of Hells Highways release, the industry had moved on. WWII shooters were officially yesterdays news. In some ways, its ironic: how could Gearbox have known when they began development that WWII shooters popularity would tank? In a very literal sense, the series was a victim of future shock, the talk of the town while in development, but old news by the time of its release. In reality, however, the Brothers in Arms games had a lot to offer excellent squad-based combat that relied on real infantry tactics, and a compelling story about the impact of war on mens lives. The latter is, I think, the series lasting contribution."
