Another flight combat game preview for you all today, this time with modern-day technology and then some in Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. - the first game in a new franchise from Ubisoft.

We got to check out H.A.W.X. at Leipzig recently and were treated to a half-hour demo of the game in action. H.A.W.X. features around 50 meticulously recreated aircraft - all fully licensed to ensure the most accurate experience possible. They range from some of the older Cold War-era jets like the MiG-25, all the way up to modern fighters like the F-35.

Find out more of our impressions on the game in our feature preview and check out the latest clip of this game in action in the E3 2008 trailer

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is due late this year on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

So good to see a return in PC fighter sims.. Although its not really a sim.. Be great to see whats on the horizon for this sorely missed genre.

Yeh honestly there's not that many dogfights either - most of the combat is fast, long range, fire-and-forget sort of thing. I only saw one plane up close in combat and it was when he was buzzing past a b-52 at ultra-high speed. I didn't see any combat where you were shooting cannons for example.
