Crimson Skies - PC

The flight simulator makes yet another return for PC platform this year with the release of Crimson Skies. Based around an American War, before the dawn of the upcoming second world war, this particular flight-sim-turned-combat-sim looks set to involve the player in a game of intense strategy never before seen in the genre. Throughout the game you will be challenged in locations across the globe, including the likes of down town Manhattan. You must learn to control your plane with great accuracy to achieve the best results. To help reach the needs of every individual player, you are given the option to create and customise your very own plane. As long as you keep within the specified prices and weight limits, you can choose frames, engines, and even personalise your plane’s paint scheme.

Crimson Skies combines the heart-pumping action of air combat with the swashbuckling feel of an Errol Flynn adventure movie. As the handsome and daring air pirate Nathan Zachary, you must take to skies filled with treacherous privateers, tricked-out fighter planes and giant aircraft-carrier zeppelins. Amid an ever-changing political landscape, Zachary and his notorious band of air pirates, the Fortune Hunters, have become the free agents in a fight for control of the skies. Quite a challenge, should you choose to accept it. more
