It feels so weird to be telling you this, but Ubisoft has made an advergame based on Tom Clancy’s HAWX 2 and … it’s kinda good! It’s a pretty basic shmup with an 8-bit theme, though it’s a bit more forgiving than most traditional games in the genre. (Your plane can actually take more than one hit before going down.)

Everything else is pretty much what you’d expect: a rad soundtrack; several weapon types; and an endless supply of enemies to blast into oblivion. Don’t believe us? Hit up the link and check it out.

[Thanks, Daniel]
