Remember the first time you found yourself so immersed in a game that you had to look away when everything backfired? This, I think is the mark of a really enjoyable game. Complete and total immersion. I have been here several times, too few to note, but several times, nonetheless. The last time I can recall was when I was playing something I only purchased as an afterthought; I bought a title I was only vaguely familiar with and hoped for the best, and it turned out that I had found a gem amongst the leagues of lame titles… I grabbed up a little game called Rainbow Six.
Part of the reason I was glued was this: I was creeping around an airport in Idaho with a couple teams of my buddies, doing sweeps to take out the evil scientists that were busy doing dastardly things. When out of nowhere, I took a bullet to the head from a jerk hiding behind a glass window. There was an explosion of shattering fragments and the unmistakable sound of my head splitting in three directions. I sat at my desk with an open jaw, only barely able to hold the loose bowels inside. That was so intense that I almost left snail trails in my boxers. Last time I felt like that, I was jumping from a single engine Cessna above the Arizona desert.
So, after hours of perfecting my killing tactics, I went online and joined up with the guys at Mplayer. I spent so much time with this game that I forgot about the other title I had purchased at the same time… something about a scientist whose base was invaded by aliens. Don't get me wrong, this game was fun too, but it didn't possess the stark realism of Rainbow Six.
Now, after only a year of waiting, the gaming world is going to be treated to the follow up to Rainbow Six - Rogue Spear. Ya' hear that? That is me salivating and dancing circles in the corner. Arrrghgh. Tom Clancy, I love you.
