Pre-E3 06: Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception

New to ACX is a collection of tunable aircraft. As you soar through each mission (mostly blowing things out of the sky, plus a handful of defender tasks) you'll unlock new parts and accessories for your new, unique jets. These aren't typical licensed fodder, either - they've been invented just for this title, and they're all yours to pimp how you see fit.

Multiplayer's never been a big draw to the Ace franchise, but the PSP game's 4-player, ad-hoc matches could easily change that. The fourth and sixth games had 2-player split screen, but now you'll get your own view of the mid-air missile barrage. We're excited as hell to see how well this franchise is holding up, and things are already looking pretty sharp for the latest trip through the horizon.
