When overwhelmed, blind-fire around corners to push terrorists behind cover. This isn’t the first action game to feature Las Vegas or chaos in casinos (the last Hitman comes to mind), but it sure does it well. We’re not just talking about...

In general, I am not a pure action games fan, at least not the common ones that throw me into an arena / jungle / castle / whatever, fill the place up with stupid enemies, let me choose between a variety of devastating weapons and just shoot in all...

When opening this game to install on my Computer, I could not wait to get started. All I remembered were my days in college playing the first Rainbow Six Game with my buddies and how much fun we had. While reviewing this game, I was very impressed...

After the fiasco that was Rainbow 6: Lockdown I feared that my beloved Rainbow 6 franchise had succumbed to the fate of mainstreamness, where everything has to be a boring, fast paced Quake clone, rather than the wonderful squad based sneakiness that...
