A short list of things better than shooting video game Nazis includes the following: absolutely nothing. Once again, World War II-based first-person shooter Duty made it possible to stick it to mean old Uncle Adolf, this time over the course of 1944’s Normandy invasion. As the Americans, Poles, Canadians, and British, players stormed across Europe’s most hotly contested battlefield in the rush to liberate France. Although plagued with problems, Duty’s online multiplayer action ultimately proved a fine way to extend the game’s lifespan.
