Another Award for GRAW Xbox 360
Posted by Rocky on Friday, September 15 2006
Yesterday we posted about GR:AW Xbox 360's remarkable 8 nominations in the BAFTA video games category. Today I noticed that GR:AW has won another award, finishing first in GamersReports Top 10 Worst XBOX 360 Achievements table!

Here's what they had to say about GR:AW's World Champion achievement...

"This tops the list because it’s simply not a fair achievement. XBOX Live’s Major Nelson has this achievement, primarily because he got an early copy of the game at a time when frankly, there wasn’t anybody else playing it. More importantly, it’s not something anybody with an expert level of skill can accomplish. Ultimately, somebody who has had the game longer than you can just win more than you ever can, despite your record. In that regard, it tops the list."

Hopefully early next month Ubisoft will be celebrating some real GR:AW awards when the BAFTA results are released!

GR A Short History
Posted by Rocky on Monday, September 11 2006
Long time site member Budgie has penned an article titled "Ghost Recon A Short History 1967 - Present". The article tracks the movements of the Ghosts during this period, and their involvement in various combat zones, using screenshots from Ghost Recon for effect. A lot of work has gone into this article, hopefully you'll enjoy the read!
