Altitude is Plane Crazy

Do you like planes and weapons?  If so, you might want to give Altitude a try.  Available on Steam for a mere $10 price tag, its playability makes it well worth it.  Four styles of planes, over half a dozen game modes, a slew of perks to customize your plane makes for a fun and addictive frag-fest. 

Despite the focus on shooting down other players, the most enjoyment I got was from the 'Plane Ball' mode where you capture a spiked ball and try to shoot it into the opposing players' goal.  Sounds easy, but when you're getting shot at, trying not to stall out, avoiding planted mines it can be quite difficult. 

In short, this was definitely a worthwhile addition to my collection.  If $10 seems a bit steep (I think its well worth it) Steam does put on quite a few sales.  In fact I picked Altitude up for only $5 during a sale and that was only because I wasn't aware the game existed until it showed up in the Steam sales menu which I frequently check. 

I will return sometime in the future.  Until then, keep watch off your port bow for bogeys.
