Important Health Warning About Playing Video GamesPhotosensitive SeizuresA very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

In Battlestations: Pacific you will experience the Pacific War through two epic sagas.

Relive the greatest battles or rewrite the course of history.

Then go online and make some history yourself.

US CAMPAIGN, 1942-1945

The Miracle at Midway in June 1942 turned the tide of war and put the US and Allied Forces on the offensive.

But victory was not certain. The Imperial Japanese Navy would fight to the death for its new possessions that stretched across the vast Pacific–Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa and more. Dishonor was not an option.

JAPANESE CAMPAIGN, 1941-1945

The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere was becoming a reality–China, Indochina, and now the Pacific.

The plan was bold. Suddenly strike the enemy at Hawaii. Sweep across the Pacific. Finish the US Fleet at Midway and then launch “The Eastern Operation”–the invasion of Hawaii–to achieve final victory.
