Seldom mentioned in reviews, main menu screens are, of course, the most important aspect of any game. I’m sure I’m not the only one who instantly uninstalls a new purchase if I don’t like the main menu artwork, then hunts down the person or persons responsible, and maims them using a thematically-appropriate weapon or tool.

Released yesterday, the Ground of Aces demo lasted approximately ten minutes on the THC toe warmer. One viewing of the tutorial video (posted below) was sufficient to convince me that Blindflug Studios’ idea of a WW2 airbase management game and my idea of a WW2 airbase management game have almost nothing in common.
