What a difference 30 years makes...

Warhawk is easily one of PS3's best games, and we remember Combat with a similar type of excited fondness. Side by side, though, the 2600 looks like part of our HUD readout than a real game.

War never gets old, though. We're sure - if we squint, drink and play in the dark - Combat would still go down nicely. We'd rather be Warhawking, though.
