There are rumors that these videos are skewed to one side or another, but someone like me who has both consoles would like to at least compare the games and then decide which one to purchase. Word is the 360 is a little better, but see for yourself.
Who doesn’t like cheat codes, especially when they are free? Here are 2 codes that unlock a special gun from Best Buy and a free map from Comcast that you can’t get anywhere else.
FREE GUN: At the main menu enter the follow button commands at the Main Menu of Rainbow Six Vegas 2:
(Hold RB) Down, Down, Up, Up, X, B, X, B, Y, Up, Up, Y
FREE MAP: Got my copy from Gamestop. It contains instructions to unlock a “Comcast Optimized Map.”:
From main menu select “extras”
Select “comcast gift”
Enter “COMCAST FASTER”

The game finally hit the shelves today and 2006′ s breakthrough shooter looks to be another great installment of the famed series. Just in case you were on the fence, here is one last look and final trailer of the game.
Ubisoft’s RB6: Vegas 2 should be a great addition to the already storied franchise. The first game was outstanding but now has the bar set by COD4 for multiplayer. As long as the single player lives up and the Co-op continues to develop, this should be a borderline must have.
The complete list of 47 achievements for RB6:V2 have just been released. Click here for the entire list. Don’t worry, there are no spoilers here. All 47 are revealed but they do not give any plot details. The single and multiplayer achievements are almost identical to last year and all but a few are obtainable outside of extensive gaming. Still burns my ass that I need to buy the Xbox Camera for the last one. Not worth it.
RB6 was a huge improvement for FPS and squad based games. Great graphics and an awesome cover system made for a sweet multiplayer and a fulfilling campaign mode. The game returns in a similar setting but new story and hopefully some new weapons and expanded character creation. With COD4 setting the bar, we will see how Vegas adds up. Check it out.
Anyone who is eager to get their hands on the newest installment in Ubisoft’s award winning Rainbow Six series will get their chance in March 2008. There will be entirely new levels to speak of as well as an updated Persistant Elite Creation mode and a new A.C.E.S. system that rewards the player for their tactical prowess. An example would be unlocking sniper rifles for getting a ton of headshots. Expect more on this title when we hear it.
I was a huge, huge fan of RB6 when it came out. I loved GRAW 2, but it was impossible to get in a game because of the very flawed ranking system. RB6 however, offered no penalty for playing with lower ranks and you were awarded points based on playing not necessarily performance. I am eager to see how the follow up, though I wish a different locale was chosen. I would have called the game Rainbow Six: Nine.
