Some of us were born to slip the surly bonds of earth and mount the sky in a single-prop Cessna. The rest of us are happy enough to keep our butts glued to our chairs while we manage planes in a virtual setting. Enter AviNation, a charming Facebook game that lets you direct and control classic planes from the '30s. Unfortunately, crippling bugs and issues stunt its overall playability.
When you stop to think about it, the pursuit of human flight is a miraculous tale. How humanity has discovered that they could take to the skies with the aid of machinery is nothing short of remarkable. Checkpoint Studios' new social game, AviNation, aims to take this patch of discovery and transform it into an exciting and addicting interactive medium.
