Microsoft Flight is free as a bird on Feb. 29

BigGamer — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:27:26 +0000

Microsoft clearly has no care for the silly paramaters we call "seasons," as its launching Microsoft Flight on February 29, bucking the original "spring" launch window. Microsoft Flight's official site will be hosting downloads of the free application starting that Wednesday -- no other distribution channels are named, but we suspect it'll also be up on Games for Windows Live's Marketplace as well.

That guess' accuracy is bolstered by the news that the "Hawaiian Adventure Pack" wil be made available as well on the 29th, coming in at .99. The pack is said to include the "remaining Hawaiian Islands, a new plane, and 20 new missions," should you have already exhausted your enjoyment of the other content, ...

I’ve gone into detail before about the PC port of Resident Evil 4 . To put it frankly – it just sucks. It’s actually quite widely believed that it sucks, too. No out of the box mouse support, terrible textures, all in all it just wasn’t what it could be.

Capcom seems to think so too.

Over at the Capcom Unity boards, the question was posed by a fan of why we don’t see Resident Evil 4 available for direct download through any of the major online retailers. Senior VP Christian Svensson had this to say.

Sorry, but there’s enough people at Capcom who aren’t happy with that version and would prefer it not ...
