Mechwarrior 4 free release cleared by Microsoft
After it was first announced in July of 2009, the free release of MechWarrior 4 has finally been cleared by Microsoft.

MechWarrior 4 free release 'held up' by Microsoft
Way back in July 2009, Smith & Tinker announced that it was going to authorize MekTek to release MechWarrior 4 and all its expansions for free "soon" -- likely to drum up interest for the upcoming MechWarrior reboot. After nearly a year, the game remains unreleased. The reason for the delay, ac...

Crimson Skies may, one day, fly again
1UP posted a pretty interesting recap of one of the original Xbox's golden childen, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, what it was, what it ended up being and (most importantly) if we'll be seeing a sequel anytime soon. And before you get too excited, know that if a sequel were developed, it'd be ...
Crimson Skies return uncertain, Dark Void for now [update]
Update: Just for clarification, this is in no way a confirmation that a sequel to Crimson Skies is being entertained by Airtight or any other developer at this point, as much as we may wish it to be so.
