    Some reason I'm getting really fascinated with WWII because of Band Of Brothers, any one know of any good games that would involve the Eastern Front? I have been thinking about Red Orchestra, but just wanted to see what else there is out there.

    Medal of Honor and like Mastershroom said, COD: WAW
    I never thought I liked old WWI&WWII games, but I have medal of honor: heroes for the PSP and enjoy it greatly :)

    For FPS eastern front games, I highly recommend Red Orchestra. It is a lot of fun, and there is a large community of players. Also there are a few mods for the game which really expand its playability. However, the graphics are a little dated. It does seem like they are working on a sequel though, so that's good. http://www.heroesofstalingrad.com/

    If you would prefer a turn based RTS, I highly recommend Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin. http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=51&Itemid=90 This game is dated as well. However, they are working on an update to this series (sometime in Jan or Feb of 2010) which will focus on the Normandy Beach landings. Then they are planning to make a eastern front game. I am really looking forward to this series, and I recommend you check out the demo.

    FPS: Call of Duty and Call of Duty 2 both have some missions from the Red Army's perspective during the Battle of Stalingrad...

    Flight Simulator: Il-2 Sturmovik

    Turn Based Strategy (not sure what Turn Based RTS [Real-Time Strategy] is): East Front 2
