  Happy Thanksgiving!

  Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! I'm spending Thanksgiving in Bastrop Texas at my sister-in-laws house. Got practically the whole family going here for a big Thanksgivings day feast. It's nice country out here, very peaceful and quiet. Lots of big ranches and farms around these parts...

  Anyway Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Enjoy the holiday with family and friends!

  Rainbow Six Vegas 2

  Just dawned on me that I've been waiting for months for some good single player tactical shooters and have been disappointed by the reported shortness each new release. COD Modern Warfare, GRAW2 and a few others. Well along comes Flashpoint Dragon Rising my next great hope. Reports on it say it's full of glitches. Pretty good in spots but just too many issues. Of course the single player portion people blew through pretty quick from what I've heard and read.

  I think I may have forgot how to use my controller.

  You know what? I think I'll go back in time and pick up Rainbow Six Vegas 2. What the heck, it's cheap and it's similar to the original Rainbow Six Vegas which is one of my favorites. I didn't try it before because I was so sure I would be buying all these new games why pay to play something so similar to a game I already played?

  I read some reviews of it and it's got some sort of equipment/weapons upgrade you can do in single player offline mode. Imagine that, something different in single player mode! So anyway If I don't get sidetracked into something else I'll pick it up and blow the dust off my Xbox360. I think it still works...

  Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising

  Well it's out and some reviews are in. Looks like for the most part to be an OK game. It's getting 7.5 to 8.0 as far as I can see. It's got some technical glitches and some low tech graphics in spots but not enough to keep me from picking it up.

  I get the feeling that the people that are complaining the most are the ones who what to fly though it in a hurry then get on the multi-player and get some online games going. Fine for them.

  It appears though that the idea with the campaign mode is to be a bit more methodical in your approach and to use good tactics to get through most of it. I'm not too concerned about great graphics where you can pick up each leaf on a tree. I'm looking more for solid gameplay, good AI and realistic feel. Don't get me wrong, I like a good tank blast and loud shooting action as much as the next guy! It just needs to add to the gameplay.

  I haven't picked it up yet, may wait for a price drop... then again I don't have much to do this weekend and I haven't seen a "honey do" list yet!
