Sure enough, as I played through beta code a couple of days later, a helicopter flew over my squad. Later, at the end of the game, the media are interviewing one of the characters youвЂ™ve rescued earlier on in the game.' 'You can see the cameraman filming you as you fight your way across the highway. 'Actually, during the Kuwait City mission a news helicopter buzzes you,' says Jim. I for one am relieved, although since we saw more of Kate Adie than anyone else on the battlefield, it will be strange reliving the conflict without reporters bringing up the rear.

Action games with a contemporary setting have exclusively been aimed more towards the hardcore, while the more arcade-like Delta Force series hasnвЂ™t delivered all it could have done.

Instead, we've gone for a fun-based game that allows you to take a few hits before being knocked out.'Д¬ertainly the PC could do with some light relief. 'WeвЂ™ve drawn extensively on events in the Gulf War, but weвЂ™re not creating a soldier sim. 'ItвЂ™s a game not a simulation,' says Jim Bambra, MD of Pivotal Games. Burning oil fields, friendly fire, Gulf War Syndrome and NBC suits are all off the menu. Desert Storm is an action game through and through, one that measures health out of a hundred, where you play the good guys, kill the bad guys and get to run across lots of sand. Those of you expecting the Cold War realism of Operation Flashpoint may be a little disappointed. The game we are concerned with today is far less controversial than you might I imagine, considering current events.ДЄs with most PC games it offers a S more sanitised version of history based loosely on actual operations. Publisher SCi is of course no stranger to controversy after three Carmageddon titles, although theyвЂ™re at pains to express the game has 'nothing to do whatsoever with September 11 or the war in Afghanistan'. Then came September 11, Operation Enduring Freedom, and George BushвЂ™s thinly veiled desire to finish what his father had started in Iraq.Д¬onsequently, Conflict: Desert Storm has become something of an interactive hot potato.

Still, wars are soon forgotten, and when Conflict: Desert Storm was conceived (the game, not the TV show), the worldвЂ™s peacekeeping armies had moved through Somalia, the Balkans and East Timor. Of course, the main reason we havenвЂ™t had a Gulf War action game until now is because it was and still remains a contentious war, one that whether it was necessary or not, certainly gave EastEnders a battle in the ratings war. Serious Sam can take out 100,000 screaming headless zombies in the time it takes George Bush Sr to call his boy and say: 'You go get вЂ™em, son.'

Shocking figures indeed, but no more impressive than your typical PC game. However, according to US Central Command, 100,000 Iraqi soldiers were killed, while close to half a million others were either wounded, taken prisoner or were courting execution for desertion. If there is one thing you can guarantee in a war action game itвЂ™s a high ratio body count and they donвЂ™t come any higher than the six week Desert Storm operation - according to 'officialвЂ™ figures Iraqi forces managed to kill about 150 of the Coalition forces, with a few more notched up by the US. So itвЂ™s a little strange when you consider that the Gulf War has taken so long to reach our monitors. Just so long as the odds are stacked heavily in our favour. Well, OK then, the number of games featuring the Tet Offensive or RorkeвЂ™s Drift have been pretty thin on the ground, and despite the potential carnage, Passchendaele hasnвЂ™t seen much in the way of in-game footage, but generally, wherever there is war, us PC gamers are willing to fight. Pick a war any war, and you can pretty much guarantee that it has been done to death on PC already.
