WILCO Tower Simulator
FYI - Don't know if any of you had your eye on this.

If anyone plays it let me know how it is. I'm not that big on gaming and could never justify $70 for a computer game.

I've tried it, its horrible. The controls are really awkward, if you click on the screen anywhere it might change the windows on you or go to the desktop. I didnt even make it as far as talking to an airplane, it was just too much of a pile of crap.

Funny - before I became an ATC trainee I happily plunked down the $30 for ATCSim2, $70 for London Control, and $60 for MS Flight Sim X Deluxe version so I could have the ATC tower option.
Now that I'm actually an ATC, I see that and go "Wow, that's like 420 cases of ramen noodles... WTF was I thinking?".

Tried out Tower Sim. Hands down the worst aviation-related game I've ever played. Pretty graphics, horrible game play.
And these developers... they need to get their heads out of their asses. They're ignoring all suggestions and being snippy about criticism, when they've released a product that is spectacularly shoddy. It's not just about bugs, but the entire interface is jacked up in its concept and execution.
