A demo of Ghost Recon will be up in a few days on Live. I'd advise anyone who thinks there isn't a "killer app" yet to grab the demo. Of course, if you want something -just- like Halo you're going to be let down because GRAW isn't supposed to be. But it's probably going to be the first triple-A title or close to it on the platform.

Also, I do think the Achievement system is the best thing since sliced bread. Yeah, it can be used as a gimmick, but on the other hand, it's more of a quiet revolution IMHO than it appears at first. People like to compete and measure themselves against others. For years, we've had all sorts of bonus achievements to strive for in single player games, but networking them like this and making it a standardized system with score keeping - biggest psychological kick in the pants gaming has had in ages.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's by Capcom. A trailer for it has been up in the Live Marketplace for a month or so. I've viewed it - it has potential, could be interesting.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Somebody's a Halo fanboy and a half!
