They say that in Rome you ought to do what the Romans do, but in this case the doing has been some six years.

Feral:

Based on a true story, Brothers In Arms: Double Time brings the first two episodes in Gearbox Software’s critically acclaimed WWII tactical shooter series to the Mac.

The 101st Airborne parachuted behind enemy lines in Normandy. The hopes of the free world rested on their shoulders.

Real Soldiers. Authentic battlefields. True combat.

New title idea if this was actually a video game targeted for, um, the adult sector: Brothers in My Arms: Double Team. Three cheers for innuendos!
