Imagine an alternate reality in which Nazis, vampires, zombies, and werewolves fought together in World War II. This is the basic plot line for Operation Darkness, a tactical RPG heading to the Xbox 360 this June from Atlus.
The official Web site for the game has launched today, along with some new screens and videos, so head on over when you get the chance. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on seeing Hitler's character profile.
While I'm still trying to figure out how this insane concept was successfully pitched, I'm not complaining in the least bit; Operation Darkness is the stuff my dreams are made of. It's just so crazy, it has to work! Doesn't it?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Thanks Success Corps, OD is another reason I'm glad I have a 360.
I...
I must give these brave women and men my money...
*revaluates financial situation
Well it's about fucking time!
Awesome.
Oh my!
I was actually playing Silent Storm last month, so an animed-up, werewolf-inclusive WW2 turn based strat game would be just my dose at the moment.
Also, Rank : Fuerher
*gawks*
I also wonder if Rommell the Desert Fox is in this, and if he is actually going to be a fox...
Nazis were naming shit after werewolfs and such during the war, they even had early, primative night vision/STG-44 combo they called 'vampir' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_vision_device#Generation_0
City of Heroes, had a nazi enemy group (the fifth column, which they later wussed down to 'the council') which was repleat with 'warwolves' and 'vampyres'.
Don't forget Helsing and Hellboy, among many others, who have made the nazi-horror-movie-monster connection.
Hell yeah. IMO, its definanlty a 'you got peanut butter in my chocolate' situation as far as 'foes you love to kill' go.
Is that Udo Kier I spy?
I do. Every day.
