Season 2 of the Punisher began last night and, DAMN, I was hooked after the first 3 min. When the first scene has Frank covered in blood, you know it's going to be GOOD.    Body Count First Episode: between 12 and 20 I'd say.

No shooters for me - unless I'm using a real gun.

That is decidedly less fun when people are shooting back.

Not just air to air...has a very nice mix of missions. I just did one where the objectives were mobile radar vehicles and an airfield. The AAA coming up at me was pretty awesome. There is also naval combat with ships.

This is definitely not a sim, so if you’re looking for some light arcade action wearing a mask of authentic and near future aircraft and weaponry, I think you’ll like it. It’s  a lot of fun and it looks very good.

So is it more like Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X series?

Ace Combat always was like Hawx indeed. An arcade game featuring jets.
But fun! And the typical convoluted japanese style storylines are included!
Aircraft porn indeed!

It’s a good question...I don’t see anything obvious in the menu options, but I’ll take a closer look.

Appreciate it....without that kind of mode, not sure it could entertain me long enough:)

Computer Wargaming / Re: Total War: THREE KINGDOMS In-Engine Trailer - Reveals plans for non-historical c

Thank you for that video.  They are really lifting the look and feel directly from the Koei games.  The strategic map as well as the none real time battle screens look very much like RTK 13. 

I remember buying the hype hook line and sinker for Total War Brittania (sp?) and ten days after purchase suffering from buyers remorse because it looked so pretty and shiny but ended up being a hollow game.  On top of that and CA's scandal of installing spyware to monitor the precise time players go to the bathroom turned me Totally off to games from this company. 

My statement may lack detail to further explain my opinion but IDC.  In my heart I know I'll never buy from this company again.  I hope that my voice will help others to not be fooled as I was.
