Here’s something I would like to throw out in the blue: When’s the last time you’ve seen a World War 2 tactical turn-based strategy game where werewolves, zombies and vampires were involved in the army and time period? Thought so. Apart from that faux Grindhouse trailer done by Rob Zombie, that concept has not been used as often as it should. Thank god for Operation Darkness showing up in TGS; this game definitely made skeptical journalists go “huh” in a good way.

Published and possibly developed by Success (an offshoot company of Sega), the game is reminiscent of tactical strategy RPGs like Silent Storm, Jagged Alliance and X-Com. Only instead of aliens and disgruntled mercenaries, there are werewolves, soldiers who transform into werewolves, vampires and zombies. Holding bazookas. Shooting down “Godzilla-size” monsters. While dead Nazis rise up as zombies to kill you.

I think I just wet my pants. All that’s missing is Nick Cage as Fu Man Chu.[IGN]
