Saw this on Whirlpool:

Gallipoli: The Game:

Gallipoli: The Game is a stunning recreation of Australia's greatest military adventure. As a commander in the Great War (WWI), you take on the role of leading the prime of Australia's armed forces as they launch an all-out assault on the Central Powers (the Germans, Austrians and the Ottomans). Gameplay is similar to the hit PC game, Lemmings, except, instead of trying to save your soldiers, your mission, as an authentic WWI commander, is to wipe out as many diggers as possible ... the more gruesomely, the better!

Someone was crying about it there being disrespectful to Australians and diggers; at first glance it appears to be just a political statement about the ineptness of the British commanders and a few other things, but thought it was interesting.

irony -

what is up with all these war bases FPSes
give me something that hasnt been done before
like being stuck on a space station on one of the moons of mars
or trying to fight mutant aliens in the streets of los angeles of the future

oh wait

its not even an FPS you drongo



looks like troll bait to me

need a new quake game clearly

I am installing colinux just for this s***, better work

drongo

thats my new word

war isnt a game, son

So, am I right in assuming no matter how good you are, you spend most of the time stationary in a trench before basically being evacuated?

No offence to diggers and I presume the makers maybe wanted to help awareness (read remembrance) but I'd presume most veterans wouldn't want people playing videogames of their horrendous situation.

D-Day is a different story however... DoD forever.

considering there is only 1 digger still alive, and i'm pretty sure he doesn't know how to use gzip he won't be playing it anytime soon.

I miss DoD :( The good ole days though 1.3 :D

Hey, their memory lives on inside all of us. Least that's what they say every ANZAC day.

gzip seriously isn't that hard to use either.

Yeah Matt, but I prefer 2.0 ;o All I remember from 1.3 is Ramil spawncamping me on the beach with a sniper rifle.

it should be set in an alternative future with zombies and robots............

I like the game in the fact that it points out we lost, and war is all about losing.

give me something that hasnt been done before

It hasn't been done before

Show me another game besides "Vietnam" where there are Diggers instead of f***ing septics or the rest of the Euro trash collection?

fyi - mad props to the Euro Trash (cept the french, cause well, you all just suck)
