Operation Darkness preview Xbox 360

Coming later this year is Operation Darkness, a tactical RPG set in an alternate-universe WW2 scenario. But it's certainly not your typical WW2 game - there's a hefty dose of fantasy in Operation Darkness, as you take on the Nazis with werewolves and spellcasters rather than more conventional means, and face attacks of the mystical and supernatural order. We've had a first look at this intriguing RPG this month - find out more about Operation Darkness in this issue of 360Zine.
