Premise:	It takes a special breed of pilot to join the Strike Team - one who's an expert in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat, one who's ready to fly at a moment's notice, one who won't fold when things begin to get hairy. With the rise in global terrorism, the Strike Team is looking for new recruits to face the ever-growing dangers of modern life. Will you be the one that will save the world?
Impressions:	Not shooters in the true sense, as they apply a healthy dose of real-world military combat, but still lots of fun nonetheless. The isometric perspective does take some getting used to, though, but once that's done you can sit back and enjoy some truly awesome games.
