Il-2 on the 360. Sank a ton of hours into it and loved every minute of it. So here I am. Not too disappointed, still super happy. I-16 still fun as hell
Remember back in the day playing Apache air assault with my dad who passed away only a few years later. This really made me remember a lot I had forgotten. Thank you ❤
Was about to say the same. I vaguely remember having a great time playing those on the old ps3.

This is basically just a timeline of the game getting better and better as the updates get older and older.
