The irony here for me is that I was going to buy the game AFTER THE REVIEWS of Gamespot, 1UP and Eurogamer because I felt I felt informed about what I was getting, I was interested in the story and thanks to the honest reviews I would of spent my 60 euros and not been too disappointed.

After this? Never. There are so many other games out there that I can now ignore Eidos published ones and never feel I lost out. Smart advertising.

This amounts to a public execution of a figurehead, and I feel terrible for the other skilled staff at Gamespot who now have to live under this. Ended my paid subscription to this site, and no longer will I be using reviews here.

Rainbow Six Vegas is longer and possibly more visually impressive where GRAW2 is short but paced with big action scenes, so if you are looking for campaign longevity then Six is your disc. I would opt to get both if you can however.

Online I can speak highly of RSV since I play fairly often (though not so well) and every match is a blast, fun and munition wise. The cover system is the same as it is in single player as are all other aspects and this means if you can play campaign you can play online with little learning curve; the same can not be said of GRAW2 which feels very different in multi-player. GRAW2 I have tried to get into online but as yet have not managed, half because I spend so much time in Vegas online and half because I do not like the feel of the gameplay despite absolutely loving it's campaign mode.

If you enjoy tight area tactical battle in (mostly) short explosive bursts then you'll want Rainbow, however if you prefer large scale battles with lots of action in quick succession then the short but sweet GRAW2 fits the bill.

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]DS uses WEP which is ok to useJaysonguy

WEP is very easy to break these days. But as far as I have seen the DS can not use WPA, and this is why I can't use mine online. Damn shame.

No, it's not VERY easy but it's easier

Considering that the average router isn't going to go much farther then the middle of the yard at your home, sure lock down the network when you see the white van outside parked between your mailbox and the front door. Until then don't worry so much about it.

Recent headline was having it broken in three minutes of packet capture. There are a lot of GUI tools out there now too so you hardly have to be in the know to do it over.

Incidentally I can use my WLAN from the car parked outside the garden gate, the range on these things is not too bad sometimes.

 Sorry, wont seem to shrink that pic.  But thats why I don't use wep.

It definitely helps to have some regular players on your rota, even if you do not know them so well.

We have open games, usually a group of the same people involved and a few who joined our anti-clan (just a lose collection of horrible people) and it's always good to hear some new and inventive bashing going on, although if someone just resorts to name calling it quickly becomes tedious.  On the other hand a quick barrage of well honed abuse usually quietens them up a bit.

Remove headset from controller, then play. (XBL)funnymario

Well what I am trying to get at here is are people in general actually OFFENDED by the things they hear while playing, or is it all just part of how it happens?  Can I assume by your described action you do prefer not to hear such things?  Particular reasons?

i find out their ip addresses then i hunt them down, cut off 3 of their fingers, then ask them if they will ever trash talk me again >: DCrucifier

See, that's being active about the topic.
