Visitors to the official Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell and EndWar web sites may have notice something unusual today—a Flash overlay that features smoldering, bullet-ridden debris that links to the official Ghost Recon web site. There, a similar Flash overlay shows a smoking black box or dossier case, then a series of mysterious videos, some of which are playable, some still locked down. The video and audio files are said to come from a recovered MACSAT or Multiple Access Commercial Satellite. More »

Next-gen? Not quite yet. PlayStation 2 title God of War II pwned March by shifting 833,000 units — That's more than double the number two title, Ubisoft's G.R.A.W. for the Xbox 360. Following that were Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360, Wii Play for the Nintendo Wii and Motorstorm for the PLAYSTATION 3. Glad to see the focus back on actual games and not on pieces of hardware.

A new Ubisoft site popped up today that seems to be for some yet to be named title. Mousing through the site you come across a number of audio files that seem to indicate that the game is set sometime in the future. There are also biblical references, including to Revelations 6:4 which reads: "And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat theron to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."

Well, the Wii is now breaking a long-standing tradition against game pack-ins for console sales. Unfortunately, their pack-in sucks (trust me on this). Luckily, Microsoft is one-upping them. More »

Over in the U.K., ads that use pre-renders CGI footage are coming under fire. Earlier this year, Call of Duty 2 was yanked from British television after consumers complained that the in-game visuals did not match the commercial's. The country's Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre was unaware of this practice. More »

If you own a 360 but it was either buy GRAW or pay off the loansharks to prevent them from cramming your precious 360 into your colon horizontally with a single deft, unlubed thrusting motion, we have good news. The Live demo of GRAW is up on Marketplace. It weighs in at 747 megs. Better yet, it's free! Unfortunately, though, it's single-player only... as if our lives weren't solipsistic enough. More »

It took me a long time to wrap my head around the fact that GRAW isn't the name of a kick-ass mid 80's heavy metal band, but the excellent 360 shooter Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. End introductory non-sequitur. More »

Stephen Totilo of MTV looks at the parts of the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter UI and wonders if this is the future of HD gaming. He cites the anxious hopes that gamers hold before each new console cycle - no, PS2 doesn't look like Toy Story - and wonders where, if at all, GRAW will fall at the end of this cycle. The picture-in-picture interface in GRAW is the "big leap" in the UI - the game's very polished graphics speak for themselves. Like our own home computers, our GRAW interface becomes flooded with information regarding the missions, updates from allies and talking heads. Are user interfaces and their new tricks going to be the face of the next-generation of gaming? Or is GRAW going to be an anomaly, albeit a darn good one? More »

But what was uncovered quickly, was that Xbox 360 title Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter didn't have a "Southpaw" control scheme. TeamXbox links to an official response on the UbiSoft boards and it is promising. Here's the good word: "Southpaw will not be available at ship. We have the message, the appropriate people have been notified." Good news for an Xbox Live update down the road, it would seem. More »

The Ghost Recon series on the Xbox didn't really capture me. The multiplayer modes never kept my attention and it just felt "off." However, the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter trailer that is up at Computer and Video Games definitely does what a trailer should - build the hype. Though, slick visuals in a trailer don't make a great multiplayer game. GRAW will need a good multiplayer game-making/joining interface with a system that allows for tons of customization and solid support to keep things in-game running smoothly. All that naysaying (I prefer thinking of it as playing devil's advocate) aside, I hope this game is incredible, the co-operative play in the trailer looks like a blast. More »
