I've been playing Il-2 Sturmovik lately, and it might be cool to have a similar (though probably more arcade-y) game on the go, or during class (why STUDY history when you can LIVE it!). About the DLC, that people are mentioning, I do think its one of those things that is a great idea, but can be easily abused. It's fine if a Dev wants to relase a game for free but essentially with demo content, and then offer the full game through DLC. Its NOT ok if the dev asks for money for every little thing, ie if this baby wants a dollar for every plane or something, which I doubt, but explains my point.

It has been collecting dust lately due to a promised hype-machine of an update that hasn't happened. I guess the "War" update is now Skies of Glory. I look forward to it for sure plus DLC because i know that F.A.S.T. is a solid keeper all round and is well worth whatever DLC content they offer. SGN make sure your word is your bond this time around because its now trust by verify. Though i do absolutely love F.A.S.T.

It is the coin-op factor. I have NO PROBLEM paying $10, even more, to either buy a game outright, or upgrade a lite version to full. How about a lite version, where you can play 5-10 hours online for free, after that, you need to purchase the game in full. That makes WAY more sense to me. I'm sure it makes less $ense to greedy publishers. What I'm weary of, is not having any idea up front, what kind of monetary commitment it'll take to get the full game experience. TKO, you might like to think so, and possibly so, but there's no way to guarantee it would necessarily be a magnitude less than another platform. That is really more developer specific, than platform specific. There's no reason why a company, using this strategy, couldn't out-gross a similar game on another platform.

And if it's by the F.A.S.T. guys, you know they've already got experience in flight sim's and online play. This has awesome potential. Want! Wonder if you can have bots in those 'online' modes? I love flight sims, but I'm not worried about these 'real people' things. :) Oh man .. this looks good.
