I am a Wing Commander TOOL.
Played every game for almost every console. Even bought all the Baen books. I only drew the line when it came to the Wing Commander movie which really had 0 redeeming qualities. I am afraid I will have to purchase this title on name alone (consider it an investment) to hopefully spawn remakes of WCI-V and better yet, a VI. Too bad that space sims are a dead genre, this thread brings fond memories of the Tie Fighter/Freespace/Wing Commander days. <wistful sigh> Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wing Commander Arena Pros/Cons IMHO
Pros: -Wing Commander name and logo alone has spurred a significant amount of attention from old school gamers, hopefully waking up EA to revive and support the franchise. -The game, standing on it's own two feet looks fun to play. Could have called it Space Commander on XBLA and I would consider dropping coin on it. -The developers at least seem to really care about the franchise and have SOME knowledge of the universe. Cons: -It is NOT what old school WC gamers are expecting from a new title in the franchise. -The developers are not well known and past efforts have been not impressive to say the least. Overall, it's worth a shot and I think it's good for the WC community in general. I will try to be optimistic, hopefully its not a universal 3/10 or something. WC needs a success story badly. EA, if you are listening: Release Wing Commander 1 and 2 for XBLA.. add campaign co-op so Skills can help me protect the impossible 'Escort the Drayman' missions. Then charge me 10,000 MS points for it because I will buy it. Most amazing jew boots
