Six Chances To Catch Wing Commander In October

HBO's October Wing Commander schedule is now online. The fun starts this Wednesday and continues through 10/22. Instead of HBO HD and HBO Latino, the broadcasts switch to HBO2 and HBO Family this month. There don't appear to be any high definition feeds soon, but that's not unusual. HD showings tend to appear on the schedule for a few weeks each quarter. That'll have to do until we all get Wing Commander on Blu-ray.

CNN Recognizes Trend-Setting Wing Commander

Episodic gaming is big business these days. Games like Half Life 2, SiN and Sam & Max are just a few new titles being released as a series of chapters. A lot of articles talk about these games like it's a big new thing, but Wing Commander fans know better. Apparently, we're not the only ones! CNN's latest Game Over piece talks about the latest crop of episodic games, and it actually touts Wing Commander Secret Ops as the genre pioneer from 1998. Good job Chris Morris!
