  "Old-school"

  Unreal Tournament was back a few years ago, one of the most loved games, and a must have for almost everyone as insane as me.
  
  Though i never owned it, i played it a lot, and enjoyed it greatly as well, so its obvious to deduce, that i was more than eager to get my hands on this game, specially with the plus content added on the 360, and other things.
  
  I must say that the game is a blast nevertheless whatever you heard, and even though is fast, you will get your nice kills withouth trying to hard, because i played the first time online, and i got 6 or 8 kills, so it was satisfying to find i still kick despite been a pops.
  
  There's a lot huge looking maps, which very good looking effects and shortcuts designed to really master your strategy, and knowledge of the maps is dominance of the game, which is real warfare, there's nothing more advantageous than the knowing of your battlefield. Regarding this map there are teleporters and jumpers that really fly you out, and there are all the collectables that really enhance your survival possibilites, and besides that there are slowing time warp zones which are really cool.
  
  The characters are not that pretty looking once you are on the game, they look a bit old school, but that doesn't mean that your FP view isn't great, the gun you're holding is really detailed and cool to fire, you wouldn't be dissapointed a bit, every time you shoot your gun, is like been in paradise with Carmen Electra, much to say.
  
  There's plenty of Guns and ammo and armor and health enhancers, which is really good to collet, because you won't die soon, contrary procedures will get you kill in a breath take.
  
  Actually Gun difference in power is very well balanced, this is not Halo 3 were the one with the Flame Thrower will waste you quicker, this is a game were you move fast, think fast and you have to be accurate, even with a Pistol, your gamer skills will give you the kill if you are the best Jedi in the Arena to put it somehow, of course there are very powrful weapons, with very damagin Radius, but that shouldn't be a trouble, and if you're skilled enough you will get many double kills like i did.
  
  There's many vehicles also for you to hover around but i haven't try them yet, i will comeback soon with some details on this.
  
  the campaing mode and the online mode are the same, the only difference is online you kill other players, offline you kill simulated AI, which is quite better than your teanmates, so is pretty much the same experience Off-and on the net, which i find very interesting.
  
  Overall this game should get you entertained and comfy until my most awaited ever game comes out, GOW2, Hell Yeah!

  Calypso Casino Multiplayer map is back with a Vengeance

  I must say that in terms of innovation and fun, the first Rainbow Six vegas delivered a multiplayer experience that few challenged until COD4 arrived, in fact, i did like more R6V1 than any other multiplayer game, despite the lack of guns and other modes, it was the greatest fun i had, and the online was great, despite the stupid people kicking you off the game constantly, and even Red Dots worked well, now Calypso Casino was everyone's favorite, altogether with LVU Campus, and i did say IMo why they didn't put Calypso in this time?

  Well, the answer to my prayers was given by half, because they didn't include LVU, but this has made me very happy, because this map really brings Rainbow 6 V2 to the level it should had, great graphics, great cover system, very similar to the first installment, and simply great fun and good memories, ahhhhh!!!!!

  The map looks a bit darker this time, with certainly improved lightning, specially on the underground tunnel, that lead the Assalting team to the casino area, and it certainly gives the game a feeling of SWAT team squad on late nite trying to sweep some big smuggling operation, which is great.

  Some other recicled elements look just terrible recycled, IMO, slot machine look aweful and they don't have that caracteristic jackpot sound they had before so often, which makes it a bit silenced and boring.

  Despite all this things, the map is great and the UBi team have been improving considerably their network spaces, as now you can play this game withouth so much lagginess and very certainly brings a experience as satisfying and darker than the first one, so for this time around, i can say R6V2 is back and with a Vengeance!!!

  Enjoy and see you online. C.
