Dogfights

The last game of the night fell into yet another category, this time it was through a partnership with the History Channel to release small multiplayer online games based on the scenarios depicted in their weekly television series Dogfights. This is branded gameplay taken to a new level, where you just don't have a game based on a show, you have a game based on individual episodes of a show. You can imagine the development schedule of keeping up with a weekly TV series, but Kuma has the tech for the job, as they explain.
