I'd like a Civil War First Person Shooter... Start at the beginning of the war, survive battles, gain promotions, etc... I don't want to run the battle/war, I just want to fight in them...
There were a few FPS civil war shooters "History Channel: Civil War" and maybe a sequal that I played a few years back. They weren't that bad, or that good either. The problem is it tried too much to play as a traditional FPS and really didn't feel like 19th century warfare.
If you want a good FPS experience, almost a line battle/battle re-enactment simulator, I would recommend Mount & Blades Napoleonic War expansion (but only in the regulated line battle, or commander, mode). However it is online only and doesn't recreate a campaign, just a battle. They will be coming out with a civil war mod sooner or later for it.
E.A.'s Fight Night that will FINALLY utilize PS3's Move device
I have yet to find one turn-based Napoleonic War-era grand strategy game that I like (I know, I know - there is "Napoleon Total War", which I enjoy, but it's strategic map and play was too simple, and the tactical battles are too time consuming...and there is "Crown of Glory" but I could never get past the interface.
I wish they made a game where you could throw **** at people in an office or other workplace environment or set stink bombs in their cubicles. Call it "Office Rage" for the PS3/Xbox360/PC/Wii. Have it in the game where you shoot that damn secretary with a potato gun, then when that fat coworker of yours comes out of his/her/whatever's cubicle, you hit them in their face with a pie. Something like that would be funny.

Thanks... I"d seen the History Channel game before but just assumed since they weren't really a "gaming company" that the game would likely suck....
I'll check out Mount & Blades though... Sounds interesting..

I laughed out loud at this one. Don't think it would work though, there's no way to win.
