Heroes of the Pacific flying to PSP
EB Games has a listing for Heroes of the Pacific on PSP. While the game's official site hasn't been updated to reflect this, it seems likely this listing isn't a mistake. After all, Heroes of the Pacific already came out on PS2, so it should be a relatively easy port (assuming it's a port and not a new entry). For those that don't remember when Heroes first came out, it received much critical praise and was heralded for its impressive dog fights. The game is listed as a 2008 release, so it may be a while before we find out more info on Heroes of the Pacific.
Heatseeker previewed
Codemasters has announced a new game, titled Heatseeker. The game features action-orientated flight combat and is being made by the studio that created Heroes of the Pacific. The setting is modern day and has the player fighting terrorists with more than 20 different planes. Since the focus is on arcade style combat, you'll have unlimited ammo, two different missile or bomb types and you'll be able to choose which weapons you use before each mission. Heatseeker is coming to Wii, PS2 and PSP, but only the PSP version will feature wireless competitive gameplay modes for up to four players. Heatseeker hits the PSP in March. That's the same month as After Burner: Black Falcon. Seems like a questionable release date to me, but apparently Codemasters isn't afraid of the SEGA remake. We'll find out which flight combat game survives the dogfight soon enough. [Via Gamespot]
