I’m not the biggest Ace Combat fan, so maybe that’s why the changes in Assault Horizon intrigued me. It’s not as well polished as previous games, but this new step is more interesting than if it had been yet another Ace Combat game. Dogfights are excit...
Abstract: It’s been a long time since we‘ve had a console installment in the Ace Combat franchise. For a while I thought that Namco had surrendered to Ubisoft’s HAWX franchise, but finally, for the first time on PS3 and Xbox 360, we get to strap into a next-gen ...

Abstract: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Despite the cheese factor, the latest Ace Combat game to arrive on the XBox 360 is actually quite a decent arcade flight simulator that not only just includes jets but also helicopters! Bring on the gunships! With that said,...
Abstract: Well that was unexpected. Before popping Ace Combat: Assault Horizon into the old Xbox, I was expecting yet another generic air combat sim/arcade hybrid that would appeal to a loyal yet dwindling niche audience. But what I got could almost be called a ...
