More On: Snoopy vs. The Red Baron
Remember in the old Peanuts comic strip where Snoopy would sit on top of his doghouse and pretend to fly a WWI biplane and shoot bad guys out of the sky? Well, Namco Bandai made a game about it.  Which is both amusing and intriguing. Snoopy vs. The Red Baron released October 24th on PS2 for about 30 bucks. I'd buy it, but my PS2 might be doing a little non-self-propulsion biplaneing as well.
