There's a lot of great games coming out this Holiday, but do you wish Warhawk's space-bound successor, Starhawk, was one of them? It's totally understandable we suppose

Starhawk is a dense experience that demands more time than our demo allowed

By the end of our short hands-on, we were flying over a huge changing battlefield, tailing enemy Warhawks desperately trying to assume a lock-on.
