Got a note from Mr Preston to tell me that there’s a game coming out on the little DS called Time Ace. The idea is that a dastardly curr has stolen the time machine of a marvelous inventor, and now conspires to collect terrible weapons to hold the world to ransom – but fear not! You, the inventor, of course have a backup and now chase the trecherous cad through time zones both real-ish and fictional trying to stop his terrible ploy.

What this means is that you will find yourself in various flying vehicles – the first of which appears to be a fairly slow biplane – and your task is to chase down the wicked nemesis’ train while fending off attacks from ornithoptors, enemy planes and blimps. Well, while I’d rather fly a blimp than shoot one down, it’s still nice to see them again. Sounds like it might be good fun – and certainly the multiplayer options. Generally I’m not one for flying combat games, but it might just turn my eye.
