When a key feature of a title is its ability to pause or slow down time, no doubt most players will imagine Prince of Persia or Max Payne type shenanigans. Most of your time will be spent poring over the world map and carefully analysing strategies and tactics while controlling the speed at which the action unfolds. These could be defending Stalingrad as the Soviets, successfully destroying the German forces in Normandy or if you wanted, winning the war as one of the Axis powers. Essentially you take command of a country during World War II with goals that you set yourself. This genre isn't widely known, combining traditional strategy with management elements to create an intricate but satisfying experience.
Hearts of Iron III is a pausable realtime grand strategy game developed by Paradox Interactive and is the third entry in the popular series. Hearts of Iron III clearly sets out to do just that and shows the complexity of war. However, nothing has ever managed to recreate the scale or impact of what was an enormous and truly worldwide conflict, despite some good efforts. In the last few years, I've run up the steps of the Reichstag in first-person shooters, fought for control of Dutch towns in real-time strategy titles and operated behind enemy lines more times than I can remember. World War II has been the setting for a huge number of games.
