Several years ago we spotted a Spanish magazine that had a bizarre variant of the Wing Commander 3 cover in its review. At the time we wondered what would possess them to create such an odd photoshop. Then it started to appear in a few other places, which just deepened the mystery. And now we...

It's the end of an era, folks. The digital storefront for the Xbox 360 was shut down today, and along with that, the primary method to buy Wing Commander Arena has gone offline. We didn't really know what the interface would look like, which is why we made a video of it yesterday before things...

Today we've got a nifty review of the Wing Commander Academy series by David John-Bores. He's not otherwise a Wing Commander player, so it's interesting to see his honest take on the show. Academy is such a solid series that it can stand very well on its own, so we love to see new people...

It's the final day to buy Wing Commander Arena for the Xbox 360. We're not sure exactly what the interface will look like tomorrow, but it'll be different and some of the functions that are there right now will never be available again. Whether Arena was a game you ever played or not, it's...

Today we've got even more new material from Howard Day's Wing Leader project to share. In a pair of new videos, you can see several new special effects. The Firekkan fighter on display has some fancy reflection in place that shows off the cockpit glass. And it's refined a bit further in the...

Oh wow, I love this perspective! I post videos from time to time of people playing Wing Commander Prophecy for the Gameboy Advance, but they're usually screen captures. It's very cool to see someone playing it in real time. The white gloves and arctic white console are nice touches too...
