Urban-Strike

There’s something unbelievably sexy about military vehicles. But military attack helicopters? Man, I get a proper rush of blood to the head to see these modern miracles of engineering up close. The Strike series is what got me hooked onto American air superiority. Desert, Jungle, Urban and Nuclear versions of this game somehow managed to mix the magic of tight action with some savvy conservation of fuel, ammo and armour.

The resulting combination was magical, with Urban Strike easily being the finest hour of this series. That opening mission where you’re assaulting a beach, taking out killer submarines and rescuing people from a watery shark-infested grave? Pure magic. In fact, I think I might go plug the game into my Sega Megadrive, start the TV, take the game out, blow on it and retry my luck at saving the day.

In Other News: Gravity Rush 2 is looking gorgeous, Twitch suffers a Shaq attack and FIFA 17 is selling out in the UK.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because I was too busy scared that the youth were going wild.

    I think it was in 1980 – A10 tank killer. That game was just a huge amount of fun

    “with Urban Strike easily being the finest hour of this series” – You have no taste in games and should no longer be allowed to review them. Any reviewer with even a modicum of respect rates Jungle Strike as the best in the series… “Hush little one, you’re next.”
