Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
Another Tom Clancy legend along with his Splinter Cell series, Rainbox 6 Vegas is the latest in this highly successful strategy shoot-em ups.
You will be leading the crack operatives of Team Rainbow against a well-equipped terrorist force that has barricaded itself and some high-profile hostages inside a series of (fictional) Las Vegas casinos.

This time out, you'll take control of a three-man team led by your character, all-around tough guy Logan Keller. Demolitions tech Mike Walter and recon expert Jung Park will round out the trio, and you'll be supported by your eye-in-the-sky information officer Joanna Torres, who's hovering in a chopper over Las Vegas as you carry out your mission on the ground. Ding Chavez has been promoted and is now in charge of the entire Team Rainbow operation.
Vegas will present a more logical, cohesive mission progression based on the events of the storyline. That means you'll move naturally from one environment to the next based on the events that are happening to you at the moment, receiving updated instructions and objectives as the situation develops.
While much of the action will take place within the casinos themselves, you'll also fight through back rooms, kitchens, and other behind-the-scenes areas of the Vegas locale.
Some of the excellent stealth features that Sam Fisher gets to enjoy in Splinter Cell have been introduced in this game, such as the ability to back up to a wall and look around corners and also to place a small camera under doors to get a good look at the enemy before opening a door.
Enemies at the outset will be merely grunt level, but later you'll find better-outfitted and more-skilled troops, culminating in a set of enemies who (almost) rival the skill of Team Rainbow itself.
More new on the multiplayer aspects of the game to follow!
