Rainbows Can Be Manly?

Yes they can. As in Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I picked this up a couple weeks ago for the Xbox 360 and it's pretty sweet. Basically you assume the role of a guy on Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six unit, which is basically a military offshoot dealing with covert ops. You're basically part of a team hunting down bad guys, completing objectives, and you have plenty of toys to play with along the way.

The list is fairly long. Of course there's your basic assortment of assault rifles, submachine guns, sniper rifles and shotguns, but at your disposal you have several types of grenades, night vision and thermal goggles. The only way this could be more manly is if you had a knife to stab with, but unfortunately, this was not included in the game.

My favorite mode so far is Terrorist Hunt where you an up to four buddies can hunt down a bunch of AI dudes. On the harder settings, you have to hunt down about 50 guys, so it's pretty challenging, since you only get 2 lives. I can tell this game is pretty sweet due to the dirty looks I get when I start playing. Good stuff.

They certainly can, in this case. I must admit my jealousy of your xbox 360. Yes, I have xbox envy.

I also got another Tom Clancy game, Ghost Recon, used for $14 the other day. I've played it for about 5 seconds total, but it's kind of similar from what I can tell. Expect a post about it in the near future.

Harumph!
