You know, when you actually think about it, Ace Combat has had a bit of a monopoly on the whole dogfighting and modern warfare thing. Oh sure, we’ve had the odd WWII flying shooter, but since the age-old days of the PSone the Ace Combat series has nonc...

Flight combat is a genre of extremes. On the one end, you have ultra-realistic simulations requiring years of flight school training before you can figure out how to raise the landing gear. On the other end of the spectrum are action packed x, y, and z...

Tom Clancy’s HAWX is an arcade-style flight sim that tries to find ways to innovate in a genre that is somewhat limited; you fly a plane, you shoot down other planes with missiles and guns, and attack ground targets. HAWX largely manages to hit all the...

Tom Clancy’s HAWX throws realism and physics out the window in favor of accessibility and pure simple fun, and the results are mostly positive. It is a surprisingly intuitive experience that is easy to pick up and a heck of a lot of fun for flight comb...

Those looking for a solid arcade-styled fighter combat game will certainly like what HAWX for the Xbox 360 has to offer. While there are a number of features that could have been better, there’s a good single-player experience here that isn’t lacking i...

I’ve always had a thing for flight sims. I’m guessing it goes back to the days of the original Flight Simulator – that crappy CGA (3 color) game where you took off from Meigs Field Airport in Chicago and flew around a grid-based landscape with two or...

I don't know what Tom Clancy dreams about, but at a guess I'd predict that his nights are filled with horrible visions of America being attacked by unstoppable evil forces. That's the impression I get from his books and video games, at any rate. Whethe...

HAWX's greatest failing is that, as ace pilot David Crenshaw, you never quite pull off the dazzling aerial moves that the various cinematics lead you to believe are possible: one in particular has an aeroplane pull a 180 degree flip in a millisecond, a...
