Tom Clancy's HAWX

Who saw Top Gun at the time of puberty (or later), this simulation game / arcade fighter should have a taste of back to basics. Because the Ace Combat series is nailed to the ground since 2006, it will be good to fly at "Mach II head on fire." The most fun Tom Clancy stamp requires is that some missions of the game will be those found in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 views but this time, the sky. In short, Ubisoft is launching a new franchise high performance. It would be foolish to deny it.

For now, we know relatively little about this (I am Alive) game, except that water is scarce and that the Earth is in bad shape. Cold Fear, but we must also Darkworks was a very nice surprise when it was released in 2005. Suffice it to say that is optimistic. We knock on wood ...
