Men of War
It's a popular subject for strategy games: World War II: This week we get the latest such title from developer Best Way and publishers 1C Company and Aspyr. The single player campaigns features three factions (Allied, German and Russian) and the Japanese are a fourth playable faction in multiplayer.

Grand Ages: Rome
There's also been a ton of PC games that have gone back to the days of the Roman Empire. This title from developer Haemimont Games and publisher Kalypso Media is the latest such title as you become like Caesar and expand the empire through military, economic and other means.

The Path
This odd little horror themed game from developer Tale of Tales has an interesting twist on the Red Riding Hood legend. Look for the game to be released via a number of downloadable services.

Merchants of Brooklyn
No its not a business sim set in New York but a first person action game from developer Paleo Entertainment that's set in the future and features (among other things) taking people's heads off and then charging them up to be used as grenades. Look for this game to be released via download services.
