As a kid I remember heading out to the local arcade to pump quarters into classic titles like Dungeons & Dragons, Altered Beast, and Rampage but once the arcade got an After Burner cabinet all of that changed. I was able to sit down in this wicked-cool seat that rumbled with a full hands-on-throttle-and-stick system and absolutely destroy bogeys in an F-14 Tomcat. Since those good ol' arcade days though, there have not been many arcade-style shooters; enter TimeSymmetry and Iceberg Interactive's Vector Thrust , a modern take on the classic dog-fighting found in the beloved After Burner, though with a few added perks
COG writes - Here we are with the second instalment of our newest monthly feature where we give you the three best and three worst games of the previous month. If you're curious what to pick up and what to avoid then look no further.
Someone needs to either remake Rampage, or just make a new monster game. All I wanna do is destroy some cities and fight some mega-monsters!
Platinumed Rocket League, it's incredible.
Good list, with God of War 3 Re, Journey, and N++ as well as the 3 best games from the list july has been pretty packed on PS4 considering all 6 games i mentioned are PS4/console exclusives.
The rampant (awesome exclusives on PS4) pace doesn't let up in August with GALAK-Z aug 4th, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture aug 11th, Volume aug 18th, & Until Dawn aug 25th. There are other gems sprinkled in throughout the month like Ascendant aug 25th, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 aug 25th, Gauntlet: Slayer Edition aug 11th, & Bedlam.
Hooray games!
I really need to play The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Does anyone know about how long it is?

That first quote....ouch. Seems this genre needs a developer to cone and kick some serious ass and make a good game in this genre.
It's too bad, I had a lot of fun years ago with games like Ace Combat and Crimson Skies. This genre could be great but it seems like everyone's turning to futuristic space combat these days instead.
It's been a long time since I've even been interested in this genre and it's looking like it'll be a while longer yet
Sad thing is, flight simulator games are wanted quite a bit. I remember being asked about their availability almost everyday when I worked at Gamestop. Saddens me to see this one doing not so well...
Justin Celani gives us his thoughts on the new air combat game, Vector Thrust.
