Since I've gotten my sweet new graphics card running, it's only natural that the first things I want to do are the things my previous card had failed at.
What you see below if a fresh installation of Tom Clancy's HAWX, with the graphics turned as crazy high as the game allows for, and with recording being done by FRAPS.

I'm no professional jet maneuvering specialist, but this game makes me feel like a pro - all while I'm unloading a bunch of missiles on the bad guys. Even more than that, after the mission is over I am presented with a cinematic cut of my most awesome moments.
That said; I'm not promising any "Let's Play"series startups or anything like that. I mean, not unless a couple of people ask for them. Still, who would want to sit around and just watch me own at video games? That would just make them jealous.
After I had played this game for some time, I had noticed a "HAWX 2" on store shelves. It was only natural that I would want a copy for myself... But when I finally got one the game was worthless. To me at least. What happened was that they tried to make it more realistic. they might have succeeded, but I've never flown a jet so I don't know what's real and what's not. The problem with this is that, in order to have a dogfight, you have to deal with opponents who are just as smart at evading missiles as you are. This makes shooting individual jets down a tremendously long process, and especially during timed scenarios, the jets are something you just can't worry about killing. This, combined with a number of other things you now have to deal with, makes it a lot harder to accomplish your missions. They tried to make it more balanced and realistic, and in summary that took away what I loved about HAWX, which was flying through and owning everything - while looking awesome.
