GRAW PC Slips!
Posted by Rocky on Tuesday, February 28 2006

Good news and bad news time. Ubisoft UK have been on to us with revised GRAW launch dates. It's good news for Xbox 360 owners who will be playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter a whole week earlier than previously announced, with the title now due out on the 10th of March 2006.

PC Owners however will be cursing as their version is now not expected before April and the release date is now a rather vague "Q2", which could be anytime before July 2006. Got a comment, post it here.


Black Wolf
Posted by Rocky on Monday, February 27 2006

Here's a quick mission for Ghosts unable to download Year of the Monkey because they don't have broadband, or perhaps don't have Island Thunder or Desert Siege. Black Wolf is a multi-objective mission played out on the Castle at night map. If you are up for the challenge try this with one demo operative and one sniper. You should manage it in under 30 minutes with around 54 kills in the process. Good luck!

Prodigious Gaming Look at GRAW
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, February 9 2006

Prodigious Gaming have posted an Advanced Warfighter article after getting together with the GRAW roadshow in London last week.

"Fans of the series will be thankful that Ghost Recon's trademark tactical squad-based shooting still forms the nuts and bolts of the game. It would have been easy to simply tick the online play feature box by providing elimination and territory modes and allowing mass carnage to ensue, but Red Storm has concentrated on making the online experience a tense, tactical battle of wills. And it benefits as a result."
