Ghost Recon Campaigns Posted by Rocky on Monday, July 21 2008
I've just finished housekeeping the Custom Ghost Recon 1 Campaigns section of our Ghost Recon downloads. There's 72 custom mission packs for download, that's a few kilobytes under 4 Gigabytes in total! That amounts to an amazing 415 individual missions! 
Some of those were found lurking on my hard-drive so there might be some in there even the most die hard Ghost Recon veterans may not have seen before. If you can't download 4Gb of files check this discussion for a DVD compilation.

GRIN in the News Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, July 9 2008
GRAW developer GRIN has been getting some airtime recently. There's a write up at Gamasutra detailing a talk they gave at a recent conference. There's also a series of videos on Youtube detailing GRIN's history via a Gamereactor interview. Part 1 has Bo explaining where GRIN started and details on their first major title, Ballistics. Part 2 covers Phoenix Rising, Vultures, Unknown, Ghost Recon AW and some straight talking from Bo. If you only have time to watch one of these, spare 7 minutes for this episode, not only does it include Ghost Recon AW, but also an interesting swipe (?) at Bioshock. Hardcore fans will get a real kick out of Ghost Recon section though.... Part 3 brings up to date with their current project, Bionic Commando and also the future as they have scooped a top drawer brand although wouldn't reveal what it is. Bo also emphasises why GRIN love independence and won't be selling out to any major publishers anytime soon. There's plenty in there that will draw some comments, so feel free to add your thoughts in our forums here.

The appearance of a mysterious smouldering dossier on Ubisoft's Ghost Recon website has fans pondering its meaning. Ubisoft marketing are starting to show more and more interest in viral marketing, fans will remember the End War campaign started in a similar fashion.
