Now Battlezone was a great game in its day - I often used to make a beeline for that (and Asteroids) at the seafront amusement arcades. Although primitive by today's standards those linear-style games were really groundbreaking.

Yeah I have that on pc. Pretty complicated though. It took me 10 minutes to start the engine and get the tank rolling!
My favourite is an old dreamcast and PS1 game called Panzer Front. Great balance of sim and arcade realism. If someone updated that for PS3 I would be very happy

Good game or not, i will be sticking to my guns and refuse to buy anything with the 505 label on it, due to their shocking handling of IL2 and a patch for the 360.

game looks rather mediocre anyway to be honest, Battle station pacific is a game i enjoy.

BSP was my most highly anticipated game of past few years, as I played BS:M to the exclusion of almost everything else for the better part of 2 years. Sadly, it ended up much like IL2, dying a quick death due to the devs/pubs' deaf ear to the user community.

Drop the aim assist, instant infinite respawns, and get rid of those ridiculous target boxes (FUEL/ENGINE/AMMO) and I'd still be pulling all nighters on it. The graphics are gorgeous.

anyone remember Panzer Front for the original PS. It took you through memorable tank battles of WW2. You could only play as the US, Germans or Russians. No Brit tanks sadly. Great game though!

Yeah its a great game (see three posts up!). I managed to download a rom of it and play it on my PSP. Dated a lot but it still has a great feel. I remember when BoP was being discussed in another forum they compared the feel to Panzer Front. Accesable but with a depth if you were prepared to put in the time

I had that game, was good fun. The instruction manual was a nightmare and absolutelty no help at all.

I say this because you could play as british tanks ;) they just forget to mention it.

You couldnt play british missions, but you could use the british tanks such as the churchill etc, it just involved messing about with tank set up etc. I had the game months before i figured that out.
