Apple has posted their latest game article, this time taking a look at Cornered Rat Software's upcomingWorld War II Online. In WWII Online, players pick to be either part of the Allies or the Axis and then enter a persistent online world in an accurately constructed recreation of World War II era Europe. The game even allows players to fly plains, drive tanks, etc.

Here's a preview of Apple's article:

Unlike most first-person shooters, the emphasis in WW II Online is on realism and cooperation, not simply shoot-it-if-it-moves. You won’t discover any magic weapons or special power-ups that will help you tackle enemy forces, and if you decide to be a loose cannon and do whatever you want, you’ll find many other angry players encouraging you to defect to the other side.

And the world of World War II Online: Mac Edition is perpetual, which means that the war keeps raging after you log off, so you may be surprised by the current situation if you wait a while before playing again.
