Call of Duty: World at War

This sound s like it might be right up your alley , especially if you’ve read the books about the Pacific Campaign.
IGN Quote:
World at War will feature two campaigns. There's a Red Army campaign that happens near the end of the war, as well as a Pacific campaign that has you participating in the American island-hopping campaign against the Japanese. Pacific campaigns are fairly rare for the genre, partly because the technology to properly capture the lush jungle environments hadn't been there yet; it was far easier to simply make another bombed-out European village. Modern processors can do a jungle justice now, though. However, there's more to it than that, according to Lamia.
Getting Complicated:
The gameplay also promises to be brutal and savage; the Japanese were renowned jungle fighters, able to suddenly appear out of nowhere when you least expected them. That's modeled in the game, and camouflaged Japanese soldiers can and will materialize out of the jungle just yards away from you.
Multiplayer Campaign:
Perhaps the most impressive new feature in World at War is the four-player cooperative mode, which lets you and three other buddies go through the single-player campaign together. It's a first for the series, and it'll support split screen on a single display or four players online. Plus, the game will scale its difficulty based on how many players, and how good they are.
