   Ah, what a wonderful day for flying... Actually, no, I'm lying. The weather's horrible outside, but I'm hoping you'll find this lousy excuse of an intro way better suited to your local meteorological condition. Either way, just pretend that it really is a wonderful day for flying, and therefore the perfect occasion for someone - like Wild Hare Entertainment - to announce a new flying sim shooter - like Air Battles: Sky Defender. So? How does that sound? Are you dying to get your hands on it arleady?

   If not, then here's some more from the young publisher's announcement, who boldly claims that "there are only two types of Aircraft - fighters and targets":
"Air Battles is more of a cross between an action title and a realistic sim. The default settings are set for gamers who like to jump into a game and start laying waste to everything they come across. On the other hand, if players are looking for more of a challenge they can raise the difficulty level and test their skills against enemy A.I. which is modeled on real world tactics.

Designed with the novice in mind, Air Battles allows combat flight sim and FPS enthusiasts to jump right into the action as a pilot for either the Axis or Allied forces and experience exciting, historically-themed, scripted missions. Using classic World War II planes, players can take part in massive air battles where over 400 planes are used to recreate the violent aerial combat that took place in the skies above Europe during WW II. Air Battles: Sky Defender, uses enhanced particle and weapon effects – explosions, tracer rounds, and trailing smoke and fire, as well as detailed plane models, environments, weather effects and volumetric clouds enabling flight sim novices the same amazing experience they get from first-person shooters."    And if that still doesn't get your attention, then maybe this trailer will. Oh, no trailer? Then how about these screenshots? What, no screenshots either?! Pff, young publishers these days... In any way, Air Battles: Sky Defender is developed by Pilot Entertainment, the creators of "Wings of Power: Heavy Bombers and Jets" and "World War II fighters" packs for the latest entries in Microsoft's Flight Simulator series. If that counts for something.

   Wild Hare plans to begin take-off procedures for Air Battles: Sky Defender in February 2007. Over and out cold.
