SD 2005
Posted by Rocky on Thursday, August 25 2005
Special Detachment's Ghost Recon Coop Tournament 2005 came to its conclusion this week when all 24 participating teams played the fourth and final mission. The final standings show Alpha Squad were the clear winners this year scoring an awesome full points in three of the four missions!

SD did an fantastic job of organising and running this coop event, which surely must be arguably this years premier coop gaming event across all gaming communities. Even teams failing to score after the first 3 missions turned up to play in the final mission, such was the quality of the missions on offer. Congratulations to all the participating teams and a huge thanks to Special Detachment for keeping it alive, and keeping it real!

Sniper Elite
Posted by Rocky on Monday, August 22 2005
While waiting for Ghost Recon 3 one game in particular caught our eye - Sniper Elite. When I played the preview version Ubisoft sent in I thought it could have been the sniper's version of Ghost Recon - it has a lot going for it.

HatchetForce spent alot of time playing this preview code and you can read why he thought this game was "... innovative and refreshing and the combat gritty" in our preview report for Sniper Elite. HatchetForce also took a quick movie to give us an idea of the bullet cam, check that out here.

Discussion on this upcoming Ubisoft title from a UK developer can be found in our forums here.
