Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII

Wednesday 21 March 2007 As part of our PS3 launch week coverage extravaganza, we've joined forces with our allied friends at Ubisoft to give one very lucky GamesRadar reader the chance to win a PlayStation 3, plus a copy of the dog fighting aerial ace, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII.

After hitting both Xbox consoles and the PC, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of World War II will tear its way onto the PlayStation 3 shortly after the console launches this week. Normally, a port of a game that came out in March wouldn't get us excited, but Blazing Angels will be the first game to make full use of the Sixaxis pad's tilt controls - meaning you'll be able to steer planes just by moving the
