There are a serious lack of helicopter sim games on the market. The flight simulation games that are released are usually PC exclusive games. They also typically tend to be more realistic games, opting for a simulation experience over an arcade-like adventure. Even fewer games attempt to bring co-op into the mix. As such, Thunder Wolves fills a very interesting niche, combining cooperative gameplay, aircraft, and cheap arcade thrills. In Thunder Wolves, one player can control the helicopter while the other controls the firepower. It looks like a fun combo co-op game, and we gave it a favorable review or the PC.

It's helicopter time! Or, it will be in a few months, anyway. Ubisoft recently announced that its upcoming flying/blowing everything up arcade game Thunder Wolves will reach PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and PlayStation Network in the second quarter of this year. Developed by bitComposer Games and Most Wanted Entertainment, Thunder Wolves puts players behind the controls of some serious flying machines to carry out missions across four different regions. Co-op mode allows two local players to team up and play as pilot and gunner of the same helicopter, which is about as cooperative as you can get. We encourage sitting in the same chair for maximum realism.

Recently Paradox Interactive and Most Wanted Entertainment have released a new video showcasing their newest game, Defenders of Ardania, giving us a new reason to have our eyeballs glued to our computer screens.
