GR2 PC Release Date
Posted by Rocky on Saturday, February 26 2005
We are almost into March with no official release date for Ghost Recon 2 PC, which has left many of us wondering just how long Ubisoft will keep us waiting. Our friends over at Ghost Recon -Spain decided to do a little research on the only information that is in the public domain - online store release dates. Here's a summary of their investigation grouped and then ordered.

Mid March - Gamespy.com, IGN and gameplanetstore
Late March - Amazon.co.uk, Play and Gameseek
Early April - Amazon.com, Meristattion
Early June - Pc.gamezone
Mid June - EBGames, Gamespot, Gameplanet, Walmart and 1up.com

It goes without saying that for all we know everyone of those dates is pure speculation, but who do you think had got it right? Place a vote for who you trust to be right about the release date in this new poll!

Castle Complete
Posted by Rocky on Sunday, February 20 2005
Here's a quality movie from Ben showing how to complete the Castle firefight in under 4 minutes. It's a quality package for several reasons, not least the skills that Ben displays in decimating the enemy forces with such speed and accuracy. Aside from that the package also includes a readme detailing all the movies specifications, and it also contains the replay file so you can also play it back through Ghost Recon. There's also a few outtakes at the end of the movie. Considering the movie was recorded on a PC with only a 36Gb hard drive, this was quite an achievement in more ways than one!

The movie size is 150Mb, but it's worth it because the quality is so good you can watch it full screen even on a large monitor and it looks great. Download the movie here and leave feedback for Ben in the forums here.
