There's an action-flying game, a historical empire strategy game, a WWII RTS title and a couple of interesting downloadable games in store for PC gamers this week:

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X
Ubisoft launches yet another game in their Tom Clancy branded line of titles with this near-future flying action title. This game is also notable as it incorporates other Tom Clancy game series into its storyline.

The launch trailer for The Path might a little unsettling in some ways, but it sets the tone for this unusual fairy tale adventure. The independently developed horror game is scheduled to release on March 18th.

"The Path is a modern retelling of Little Red Ridinghood. The player controls six sisters who are sent out, one by one, to bring their sickly grandmother a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine. The path to her house is straight and short and no obstacles prevent you from swiftly completing your mission. But what about that forest along the way?
Mother told you not to enter it! But isn't that how the story goes? Aren't you supposed to meet the wolf?"

If you are looking for quirky indie PC games you might want to start looking forward to The Path. This odd looking action-adventure game is being brought to you by Tale of Tales, a small team based in Belgium who are aiming to make you rethink how you view the Little Red Riding Hood fable.

The horror-themed game will let you play as six different versions of Red, each with their own personality and fashion sense. All must go to their grandmother's house and all are urged to stick to the path. But of course if they did that the game wouldn't be fun, would it? The game's official web site at grandmothers-house.net gives you more info on the title. Look for The Path to be released on March 18 via several download sites for just $9.99.
