Rogue Spear Retreat - Our good friend Snicker has sent word that the Rainbow Six Retreat is making some changes to support the upcoming title from Redstorm Entertainment, Rogue Spear. Here is what Snicker had to say: "The Rogue Spear Retreat has gone live at http://roguespear.3dretreat.com! This is the transition from the Rainbow Six Retreat to support the upcoming sequel to Rainbow Six and potential "Game of the Year", Rogue Spear."

Aliens vs Predator - I just purchased this program today and I have to say it is very well done. Fox Interactive did a great job on this first person shooter. If you have not had the opportunity to try it yet then download the demos. I personally enjoy playing as the marine. You can also play as an alien or a predator. When you are playing this game you really feel like you are in one of the movies that the game derived from. I actually found myself peeking around corners feeling scared as if the game were real. This is going to be one of the hottest titles this year in my opinion. Now if Rogue Spear would just come out.

Hidden and Dangerous Demo - Ok people, the demo for Hidden and Dangerous is here and it is different to say the least. I have played it and what amazes me is that there is no way to invert the mouse. I was really looking forward to trying this game, but even the gameplay is terrible. If they could have made it move like Rainbow Six but add the extra movements like crawling and so on it would have been an instant success. They really need to improve on this title if it is ever going to get money from my wallet. Download it here.

Shadow Company Demo - It is our lucky day, here is the demo for Shadow Company. It is an over head strategy game where you control mercenaries. This demo is very good also. Download it here.

Predator Mod for Eagle Watch - Zathoros has informed me that he has completed his Predator Mod for Eagle Watch. You can cruise over to his site at http://home.earthlink.net/~zathoros and find out more or you can direct download it here. Here is what he had to say about it "The Predator terrorist mod adds a new terrorist and skin. Includes a predator map for the 16 original maps, and the 5 eagle watch maps. Everyone will need to have this mod in order to play the predator maps, since it adds new things to the game. Also includes a mod that makes the elite and veteran co-op maps for the 5 ew missions have predators as terrorists. This does change those maps, probably for single player as well. I'll have an undo up on my web site in a few days."

Sorry it is late Snicker, I wish I would have known earlier, is it still to late to mail out a cashier's check? lol. Anyways I wanted to say it is great to have guys like you in the gaming community and I personally can not wait for the much talked about Sherman Mod.

Delta Force 2 by Novalogic Announced - Novalogic has announced the sequel to Delta Force. Delta Force 2 hopes to up the ante in the battle for king of first person tactical games. Mt personal opinion is that Delta Force was very lame. Who makes a 3d game with no 3d support, I know they wanted to use the technology they created even if it is outdated. Lets hope DF2 is better.

Roger Wilco Mark I Final Test Stage - The new communication software package "Roger Wilco" has entered it's final test stage. Fellow TAC member Witness and I used the Mark I today and tried R6 with it and it worked wonderfully. I have a SoundBlaster Live, which was not stable with BFC, a few others mentioned this problem to me also, but Roger Wilco works great with it. The Mark I version is a demo but you can register it free to use it indefinently. You can download it from their web page or by clicking here.
