    Rainbow Six was a major console gaming franchise and it finally returns to its root, giving PC the respect it commands.

    Amazing visuals, Great tactical action, Brilliant level design, Innovative gameplay elements, Smart Squad AI.

    Bland Story, Steep Requirements.

Tom Clancy has been a favorite amongst gamers for years due to his contribution to the gaming community. His offerings include games like G.R.A.W, Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six. Although Rainbow Six was a major console gaming franchise for the past few years, it is finally returning to its root and giving PC the respect it commands. The game in focus here is Rainbow Six Vegas, an action shooter which is fast paced yet tactical enough to stay true to its name. Read on to know more about the game.

Viva Las Vegas (Story)



The story honestly is very bland, even for a tactical shooter. But trust me, you won't care much about the story when you see and feel the game. The game follows Logan Keller and his team as they try to stop an international terrorist conspiracy. Irena Morales and her army of mercenaries are plotting something big and it's up to you as Keller to stop her.

Irena is reported to be in a town near Mexico, so you are sent to investigate with team members Gabriel Nowak and Kan Akahashi. You fast rope and decide to meet your team up ahead. You jump right into the action and clear the area as you move ahead to meet your team. You eventually manage to find her and before you can restrain her there is an explosion and you are buried under debris. Your team mates are captured and you are left as they presume you dead. From there, starts a rescue mission where you single handedly try to rescue your team mates. But as per orders you have to leave the area, and you are extracted without your team mates.



Furious and confused you are told to calm down as action is been taken to extract your team mates. You are ordered to go to Las Vegas to rescue a NATO weapons researcher named Doctor Philip Smythe in the Calypso Casino. What follows next is mission after mission as you rescue civilians and keep clearing mercenaries. You are commanding a new team now but later you get a chance to rescue your captured team mates and the decisions you make and your skill will decide the out come of the game.

I recently finished playing this game. real cool one man. My rig config - Amd 3000+, 1gb pc 3200, 7900gs 512mb. Played with every setting maxed at 1024x768 scooping out a sweet average of 35-40fps. A must buy for a pc enthusiast.
