History Channel to offer online dogfighting "gameisodes"
Starting on July 13th the History Channel will be allowing online gamers to recreate historical dogfights in different aerial theaters around the globe. Kuma Games is producing at least 11 downloadable "gameisodes" (that coined phrase makes us shudder) that you can download during new episodes of the upcoming season of Dogfights.
According to Kuma Games CEO Keith Halper, "There will be a variety of planes to fly, starting with WWII planes like Zeros and Hellcats. We receive the script for each show from the History Channel, and we evaluate it to make an accurate but fun gaming experience that's true to the show."
The network certainly loves gamers, having previously used footage from Brothers in Arms during a show of the same name. We're fine with the tie-in games for tv shows, in fact it could really liven up things like According to Jim. Is that still on the air? Also, just imagine a How William Shatner Changed The World "gameisode."
We're now declaring a moratorium on the word "gameisode."
