Hey! I liked Wings of Glory!
Not that it is necessarily to everyone's taste, but I would hardly
classify it as a "crappy game" in any event. It is reletively bug-free,
and while it may not be the spectacle that WC3 is or as realistic as
Red Baron, it is a lot of fun to play. The graphics are snappy, and the
panning cockpit view is one of the nicest touches I have seen in a
WWI sim.
As to the rest of Origin's games... they do release a dud or two, but
nearly every game company seems to be falling prey to that demon these
days (notable exceptions- Bullfrog, Br0derbund, Microprose (usually)).
On the other hand, the good games that Origin releases are *amazingly*
good. There are many game companies which suck, but IMHO Origin does not
number among them...
