Still excited to play this game next month on PC even though it has changed quite a bit since the amazing E3 2010 demo.

Finsihed the 360 version yesterday - the story left a little to be desired, but the game itself was just so FRESH. It does a whole lot of things that arn't nessecarliy original, but it puts an original spin on all of it. Was a joy to play. Also, the multiplayer is brilliant! I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as good as it is. What a pleasant surprise. I'll most likely get a pc copy next month also.

Sounds like it might be interesting. I haven't heard much about whether it has any DRM (Ubisoft I still am wary of you...) but it's definitely worth a look.

The original Ghost Recon was fantastic. I really, really, really want a proper Rainbow Six sequel.

GRFS is an amazing game. The story is.. well, I have no idea... I have absolutely zero idea of what I'm trying to accomplish in the game apart from mission objectives.

It's the gameplay that rocks. Camo-suits, sensors, toys toys toys... sync-shots are gratifying, especially when there's 14 enemies and you can only sync 4, trying to do so silently and finish a level without an alert is a near impossible challenge.

Multiplayer is outstanding also, bags of fun despite the lack of aussie players and the lag.

I don't expect multi will live long on PC sadly, so I'm really glad that people will be whoring it on Xbox for the approximately 400G in achievements that online offers.

Do recommend.

It's still sitting at $49 on steam as well, which isn't too shabby at all...

"but something in the air says to me that it’s time for a rip-roaring ace in the hole – a juggernaut of supreme power and pedigree to not so much wipe the slate clean as hose it down with piss and vinegar. Gabe Newell, you would be mad not to capitalise on this invisible electricity. Just sayin’."

its LONG overdue...
