Morning Discussion

Alright Shackers, let's do this. A whole bunch of Team Fortress 2 news came out last night, such as the unveiling of the new Medic weapons and achievements, our actual hands-on experience with those and the new map, followed by a conversation with that dashing rogue from Valve, Robin Walker. Oh, and how about some video game training camp?

    ARCADE game halp
    i came across this for the wii today:
    http://wii.gamespy.com/wii/adventure-flight-wii/
    Basically it's just some simple arcade fligh game and then i remembered i used to have some similar games on pc back in the day.
    Now my question is: do any of you know any simple top down/thrid person arcade fligh & shoot games where you control either a helicopter or some kind of plane for the PC? The setting doesn't matter (WW2, modern or some alien stuff), just the concept must be simple, flight, shoot. Also, pretty colorfull graphics with bigass esplosions are a plus.

      Buy a copy of Under Defeat and run a Dreamcast emulator? (I have no idea how well it plays on an emulator.. fuck it, just buy a Dreamcast too)
