Print Ubisoft and the Guinness World Records are proud to announce that they
will be hosting the first ever Guinness World Record attempt at a
marathon 24-hour Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 multiplayer gaming
session.
The attempt will take place at the UK's premier
multiplayer event organised by Multiplay at their Newbury Racecourse
venue. "i33" will take place from the 21st - 24th March and all 1500
tickets have already been sold. This sets the stage perfectly for
Ubisoft's Guinness World Record attempt which, if successful, will go
into the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2009.
Taking
part in the attempt will be the UK Frag Dolls: Jam, Kitt and Sarin. As
the record session will be taking place connected to Xbox LIVE for the
Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, anyone
and everyone is welcomed to join in - be it at the event or from their
living room.
The attempt will commence at 10am on Saturday 22nd March, and finish as and when there is no one left standing - literally!
To
join the UK Frag Dolls in their record-breaking attempt, send an Xbox
Live friend request to "Jam FDUK" "Kitt FDUK" and "Sarin FDUK" up to 24
hours before the event begins. You will then be able to join them
in-game, or request a game-invitation. If their friends lists are full,
please look for game sessions hosted by "Jam FDUK" "Kitt FDUK" or
"Sarin FDUK". They will be playing across all maps and modes during the
course of the event.
The world record attempt coincides with the
release of the eagerly awaited sequel to Team Rainbow's glowing 2006
next-generation debut. Released from March 20th, Tom Clancy's Rainbow
Six Vegas 2 will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC-DVD
ROM and will be equipped with many new single and multiplayer features
such as a completely new character progression system that allows you
to advance both in the single and multiplayer game, new weapons and
equipment, and an even more challenging and tuned A.I.
Tom
Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will also deliver a host of new
multiplayer options for the best team, individual, live and co-op
multiplayer experience available. For those who are already discussing
team tactics with their friends, HMV Online have a special 'Clan Pack'
offer whereby you can buy three copies of the game and get one free.

Although it does not include all the patch notes, I thought I'd add this now so you get the general idea of what will change in the next major World of Warcraft Patch 2.4.0.
The image on the Blizzard Entertainment Splash Page is updated, continuing to raise expectations that an announcement is forthcoming from this weekend's Worldwide Invitational event.
Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that The Sims Castaway Stories for the PC is on store shelves across Europe.
Tornado & LightHouse PhysX Mod maps for UT3 ready for download now.
Although Pro Street has been released, EA continues to create new patches for Carbon.
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.
"A murder?...a suicide?...an accident?...a coincidence?... Follow the evidence and find the moment of truth. It's all about the evidence and more like the show than ever" We'll see...
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
must have rogue macros
must have priest macros
must have mage macros
must have druid macros
Just for you, some Medieval 2 cheats.
| (PC) Rainbow Six Vegas 2 April 21, 2008 Rainbow Six Vegas set the standards
very high but still some of the hardcore fans of the franchise were convinced
that the sequel could outstrip the original in every aspect and become another
milestone in the FPS industry. While this remains a wildly optimistic idea, the
latest addition to the successful series is definitely a step forward, Rainbow
Six Vegas 2 being the best tactical shooter available.
