The Popsicle Plane

4:00PM Brian Ashcraft | The Ace Combat 6 contest continues! Reader Jason sends along his entry. Here, look at it. He writes: Here’s my plane! It’s made out of popsicle sticks! I included a nickel for scale! Cuz it’s tiny! Exclamation Point! To bring everyone up to speed: Dress up as an aeroplane OR make a three dimensional aeroplane out of anything tangible, but paper. So you can’t make CGI planes! And you can’t draw them either! But, you can make them out of anything else as long as it’s not paper. Rocks, clay, toothpicks, whatever! And remember, that means make and not build a plastic plane model you bought in the store. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom by this Friday at midnight PST and, like all contests, don’t forget to add a “Kotaku” sign. Remember, we’re giving away two copies of Ace Comabt 6 and INTERNET FAME. One copy for the best plane cosplay, the other for the best crafted plane. In short, two separate contests. More »

Air Combat 6’s 360 Controller Up Close

11:00AM Brian Crecente | I thought you might want to take a peek at the new Xbox 360 controller for Ace Combat 6. The flight stick is made by Hori, so it’s not surprising that along with the slick look, it is packed with useful buttons and has a nice heft to it. I can’t talk about how Ace Combat 6 just yet, but that embargo lifts soon enough. Gallery after the jump.
