Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter

I just beat the single player game this morning. -And Wow. In my opinion, this game is by far the best on 360 that's out right now. -Not to mention, the best looking and first to really feel worth that "next-gen pricing".

The single player campaign was a tactical blast. -Most definitely a game to pull a Halo-style all-nighter with. Alongside the great and exciting combat, is a level of detail of Mexico City that is simply: awesome! It really feels like a city.... well, except there aren't any civilians to be seen... which I consider a good thing. I mean, the game is already challenging enough (even of normal), so I figured the developers ruled that they'd just get in the way.

Speaking of getting in the way... while I did notice some glitches here and there, the only thing really bugged me was the AI of your squad. They definitely are not the world's best. I found myself the majority of the time just ordering them far *away* from me. Anytime they were remotely close, they would "stand in front of" or "run in front" of my sights. No wonder the superiors over the radio congratulate *you* by name and not your team.

On the other hand, I did enjoy the mechanical toys you could order around. Such as: Copters, Cyphers, APCs, and Tanks. They were all very well implemented into the gameplay and really did make the fighting more intense and tactical. The first time one of the copters blew away a tank and saved my butt... it brought a tear of joy to my eye.

Without spoiling anything, the campaign is a roller coast ride. -Lots of fun surprises during missions.

Unfortunately, I don't have a gold membership, so I can't play online. However, the game did come will a 48 hr. trail... so I guess it's better than nothing...

He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there, He is pleased even with their stumbles.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.
Every New Day - On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me
