Fly like a brick

Electronic Arts are planning to bring the first skydiving simulator to the PC.

Skydive! will feature nine exotic locations from around the world including Death Valley, Bermuda, Stonehenge, Moscow and South Korea.

There are three modes of play on offer – 'Landing Accuracy', 'Sky Slalom' and 'Freeflying'. The latter apparently allows you to simply drop like a brick, while avoiding obstacles. Obstacles? Like what? Birds? British Airways flight 213 en route to Malaga, filled with drunken louts? Now there's an idea…

Sounds like a whole lot of fun to us. We should have more on this novel title in the very near future.
