The quicksaves were a welcome addition, but I also appreciated the shorter missions and better squad AI too. That final mission though, took me back to all the problems I had with the first game. There's all sorts of old forum posts about it, many of them I was reading last night! m m m just to name...

How's about an update? I hope you all had a legendary summer! I did! Despite all that was going on in my personal life, I owe a lot to this game for helping me to cope with it all. I don't mind all the money I spent on passes, because I've enjoyed every minute of it! Some raid stats: Articuno raids:...

1. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - PC (March 9) 2. Saints Row IV - PC (June 22) 3. *NEW* Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 - PC (October 5) Finishing games seems to be a quarterly theme for me this year, and this latest game is no exception. Most of the FPS fans remember my experien...

My local FuncoLand was in Paramus, NJ, in the Super 17 shopping center. Good times! That was the only place that let you try games before you bought them, and I made quite a few good purchases there. My best score was a $2 copy of The Guardian Legend (NES) in the late 90s, but I also got some cheap ...

After an absence from gaming in general, I finally beat Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. For all this sequel did right (shorter missions, quicksaves, more weapons, improved crosscom/tactical map, and not nearly as many frustrating issues), it all went to pot in the final mission. Grin has done it ...

As for modern stealth games, I strongly recommend the Splinter Cell series. Granted they are not first person, but as third person stealth action games they are excellent. I especially enjoyed Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, and Double Agent. The first four are worth playing. Chaos Theory and Doubl...

I've been waiting for this month to come. I got the Steam remasters and I just stopped playing the first game after Fort Frolic. I'll pick up and then go to the second game next, hopefully. For all the complaints and issues I've read so far about stability issues with the Steam versions, I had a far...

Rumors of my disappearance might have been greatly exaggerated, but I'm back! I also made it before the temporary blackout tomorrow! This post will be full of smiles and even some sadness. It has been quite the summer for me, and my apologies for not being here. On July 16th, I lost my father of 72 ...

With my Dragonite finally completed, I've got nearly all the 1st gen (no Tauros) but it's a great feeling. I've been on a ton more raids thanks to the Discord I'm on... over 80 people now! I've lost track of all that I've done. I did catch a near perfect Venusaur today! Looking forward to the global...

I'm on Act III of GRAW 2 now. The Long Walk wasn't too bad. The new tactical map is huge in finding the best ways to flank gun emplacements, which saves me a lot of trouble. The mission where you snuck into the hacienda at night was cool too. Trying not to raise any alarms, no problem. There was som...
