Pre-order H.A.W.X. on Steam and get Blazing Angels for free
If you pay up for the game now you can download and play Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII for free. The 2006 released game (developed by the same team that is making H.A.W.X.) normally sells on Steam for $9.99. If you haven't played the game before it should keep you occupied while you wait for H.A.W.X.'s release in mid-March.

Don't buy it for BA1.
First, I already put my money where my mouth is. I bought Hawx with Blazing Angels already.
Second, the promotion is by Ubisoft. You can buy Hawx from them and get BA1 for free too.
Third, of course, there is a catch. You have to figure out how to make BA1 to run if you a Vista OS. That is go into ...steamapps/common/blazing angels and find the startupapp.ex and click on it. Get to properties and find the compatibility mode and select windows 98 me.
Fourth, BA1 will run in single player only. You get ripped off because there is no multiplayer for downloaded versions. Also, the configuration of your joystick is whacked.
Fifth, Xfire will not help you in your quest for multiplayer for BA1.
So, I have a bad feel about Hawx already. I worry that we have another Endwar on our hands.Posted at 9:49PM on Mar 1st 2009 by steveroger



When does the demo come out? I'm not gonna buy it, unless I play a demo first.Posted at 4:13PM on Feb 21st 2009 by Game_playa
