While fans of this genre will most likely play the best of the best on PC, those few who own consoles and want to get some great flight combat action rarely see anything outside of Ace Combat.

It’s not an easy task to accomplish, although some recent releases have proven that, with the right ideas in place, you can make the player believe he has powers too. READ MORE
