Speaking of air combat, DCS: A-10C Warthog has been a wild ride when it comes to my review. For the first time in a long time I'm feeling somewhat intimidated by the scale of the product I'm reviewing, it's almost like reviewing an MMO, where the gameplay actually evolves over time. The optional hardware out there is also a lot to consider, especially considering how much it can enhance the core experience. The Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog for example, absolutely epic hardware but the $500 price tag is hard to swallow for some. Regardless, it's my goal to have the review up finally before I get my hands on Deus Ex: Human Revolution, because we all know that's going to suck a lot of time up.

Before I wrap things up Jube and I were chatting about custom icon ideas for stuff like our "Read More" and "Watch Video" bubbles. Heck, ol' McBlink came up again too, even the concept of a new mascot entirely. Jube suggested McDrink, I have no idea what that guy would even look like though. Perhaps we can get her to do a little mockup for us in MS Paint.

Thanks to my brother from another mother for sending me the long lost Mortal Kombat TV sitcom pilot, aka your video of the day.

Updated: Gods & Heroes is available on Steam for $14.99. This includes 31 days of gameplay and 2 bonus minions.

Find and destroy a stealthy submarine that hides in the flooded jungles of Vietnam. Cutting the air with propeller blades helicopters hover high above the swirling waters and desperately seek for any sign of the enemy... Gather all your forces, the battle will be hot!

Savvy survivors will utilize a combination of the surrounding environment and improvised weaponry to aid in their fight against an unrelenting army of terrifying, yet funny, zombies. As they progress, players will unlock new weapons, new characters and new arenas as well as the ability to customize both their characters and weapons.

Players will be racing from the undead hordes, unloading on them with handcrafted weaponry assembled from items found throughout the game’s levels, such as the Magma Storm Assault Rifle, Odin’s Toothpick Katana and the Dragon’s Breath Shotgun. Zombies can be shot, slashed, blasted, blown up, electrocuted, torched, irradiated and zapped in a number of horrifying and hilarious ways, causing them to drop useful items like ammo, armor and hamburgers.

In SOL: Exodus, players will assume the role of fighter pilot in a battle for the survival of the human race, commanding their multi-purpose tactical fighter in battles across the most recognizable landmarks in our Solar System. Together with a squadron of wingmen, they will dogfight in the rings of Saturn, engage enormous capital ships around Neptune, thwart a trap in the chaotic, intense atmosphere of Jupiter, and much more! “It’s not just a coincidence that this project is coming together in Austin, where the Wing Commander series was born back in the 1990s,” said Studio Director Magaha. “Austin has really become a hub for determined indie developers. I think we’ve got some of that maverick personality in this team; we’re just driven by the goal of making this game great.”
