– August 22, 2012Posted in: News

Ubisoft has announced single-player DLC for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier titled Raven Strike. The pack will add three new missions and one new Guerilla Mode map. The first of the three single-player missions is Secure Dawn which will occur in a “foggy marsh in Kazakhstan” and block the use of advanced technology. This means that optical camouflage, drones, and sensor grenades will not be available for the mission.

The other two missions are titled Cold Walker which takes place in “a train depot on the Russian countryside” and Argent Thunder, “a night urban setting in Moscow.” The Guerilla Mode map known as Sawmill, will take place “on a foggy Russian countryside.” The DLC will cost 1200 Microsoft Points or $15 and will be available on September 11th. Ubisoft also said that the team is hard at work on further DLC but no new announcements were made.

The DLC contains six new playable human classes: Destroyer Soldier, Paladin Sentinel, Demolisher Engineer, Slayer Vanguard, Shadow Infiltrator and Fury Adept. It also contains new equipment, weapons, maps, a new mission type and a Platinum difficulty for all the masochists out there.

The new mission type is a favourite of all gamers: an escort mission. As always, all the new additions can be found in existing reinforcement packs, so once it’s downloaded you can attempt to gain access to them via the usual gamble.

What we are playing: July 1

By
Ryan Reynolds
– July 1, 2012Posted in: What we are playing

What we are playing is a weekly column published every Sunday. Various members of the team let the world know which games have had them hooked over the past week and which they’re looking forward to.

Ryan Reynolds- I spent my day off this week replaying Episode One of The Walking Dead right before I sunk my teeth into Episode Two. I’m really enjoying the games and I’m looking forward to Episode Three. I also played quite a bit of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. What did you guys think of the Extended Cut content? Finally, while I did start a Monk in Diablo 3 this week, I only played it for about 20 minutes. I think Diablo may take the cake for disappointment of the year.

Scott Waldyn- In my free time, I started playing the Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim. I haven’t gotten too horribly far in it, but from what I’ve played, I am definitely enjoying it. I love hunting me some vampires. Other than that, I played through Episode Two of The Walking Dead. While I loved Episode One, I thought this next installment was even better. It’s so drenched with tension and some tough choices.

Sean Prideaux- I also played The Walking Dead Episode 2 and it is easily making this series a strong contender for game of the year. On the other end of the spectrum I was “playing” Steel Battalion: Heavy Armour, the less said about it the better. Its also a good few weeks for 4x strategy games, I previewed Endless Space which is very good and out next Wednesday. Also I played the demo of the Gods and Kings Expansion for Civilization V; now I can’t play Civ until i buy it as the new stuff is amazing. I also picked up Shoot Many Robots on sale and its pretty fun.

Andy Tran- I finally sat down and sunk a few short hours into the Battlefield 3 campaign. It’s surprisingly good and on-par with Modern Warfare 3 and slightly better plot than Ghost Recon Future Soldier. If you own the game and like many others – just play it for the multiplayer I suggest making a pass at the campaign. It’s worth your time and quite challenging on hard difficulty – and also I needed to get the most out of it after spending an extra $50 on the “Premium Pack”.

What we are playing: June 24

By
Ryan Reynolds
– June 24, 2012Posted in: What we are playing

Nick DePetris- I started an epic quest to play through the sixty or so games in my backlog. To kick things off, I finished my first playthrough of the legendary Grim Fandango, and it definitely lived up to all the hype. Now I’m working my way through Far Cry, which is good but harder than expected.

Ryan Reynolds- Most of my gaming time this week was spent on Mass Effect 3‘s multiplayer. A friend and I really started to get into it again. And just in time for the Extended Cut release on Tuesday. It should be interesting to see what Bioware has done with the ending.

Andy Tran- I’ve been playing the Counter Strike: Global Offensive Beta. It’s a great improvement to CS: Source and all the new weapons and grenades are a nice touch to the strategy of map movement. Not to mention the beautifully remastered classic maps like Inferno and Dust.

Sean Prideaux- I’ve had an eventful week of games. I completed The Legend Zelda: Twilight Princess and Heroes of Ruin on 3DS. I also had a go at Endless Space and I’m about 80% through Batman: Arkham City on PC. I’m starting Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor soon as well; I played the demo and had mixed feelings about it but hopefully the game is better than most places reported.

Ryan Fennel- As usual, my gaming this week crossed both Vita and the Xbox 360. On the Vita front, I finally beat Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack. I do agree with most opinions that the game is a steal at $8.00. However, it is most certainly not the best the Vita has to offer. In the Xbox 360 realm, I hoped back into Ghost Recon: Future Soldier & Battlefield 3 for a little multiplayer. I would love readers to share their opinions if Battlefield Premium is worth $50. Now that I am sucked back into Battlefield it seems like the Premium subscription may be worth it.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier review (Retail)

By
Andy Tran
– June 15, 2012Posted in: Retail Reviews, Reviews

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was developed and published by Ubisoft. It was released on May 22nd, 2012 and retails for $59.99 MSP. 

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the next installment of futuristic warfare in the Ghost Recon series. Once again, Ubisoft has gone into the uncharted territory of futuristic warfare with an iteration using combat drones, EMP grenades, and a real-time augmented reality HUD. There were fears that the large gap in time between Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2  and Future Soldier had taken the strategy out of the series. It was warranted since many shooters are moving towards the high spectacle run and gun action in the dust of Call of Duty, but once you pop in GRFS and begin your first mission you’ll know that strategy still plays an important role in your survival and the completion of objectives.

Another aspect of the game – like many other shooters – is multiplayer. There was a lot of thought that went into the different modes: Conflict, decoy, saboteur, siege, and guerilla. Each one offers new avenues of continuous play and variety. Multiplayer isn’t just tacked-on at the end of development, it was created as a standalone beast for gamers to tackle. There are too many different facets to each mode to cover them all, but each is worth checking out and earning ranks and weapon unlocks.

What we are playing: June 10

By
Ryan Reynolds
– June 10, 2012Posted in: What we are playing

What we are playing is a weekly column published every Sunday. Various members of the team let the world know which games have had them hooked over the past week and which they’re looking forward to.

Nate Hubler- This week was all NCAA Football 2011. The game is a ton of fun to play and watching players grow over a four season time span is great. I also got in some time with Kinect Sports and Minecraft with a few friends.

Ryan Reynolds- I was pretty busy checking out all the news from E3 so I didn’t actually play games as much as I read about them. When I was playing, I stuck to Max Payne 3. I’m replaying it’s story mode. I also picked up Dark Souls and tried to get into it, but quit after about ten minutes and don’t intend to go back. Just not my kind of game.

Ryan Fennel- This week had me fairly equally splitting most of my time between my Xbox 360 and Vita. On the Xbox side of things, I played some Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The multiplayer is a blast, but the single player and Kinect integration are lacking. As for Vita, I finished up my world tour on Virtua Tennis 4 and just started Mutant Blobs Attack. In all honesty, I think Virtua Tennis 4 is the best game on the Vita. I haven’t played a Virtua Tennis since the original, but this latest entry is fantastic!

Andy Tran- Among all the E3 excitement I just can’t put down Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The game is an excellent Xbox title and the Kinect integration just makes the gunsmith room all the better.

Sean Prideaux- I’ve been busy this week so I didn’t get much time to play but I did get some Mad Riders in and a little of the Guild Wars 2 beta. I have to start playing Babel Rising soon and try out the demo for Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor as well. I’m looking forward to both as I haven’t used my Kinect in a while.
