I came across this posting in Slashdot this morning about according to mathematics that there are less than 10 alien civilizations in our galaxy. I thought it was pretty interesting. Here is the the link.

Jon’s Review: Purchasing this game I didn’t know a lot about what the story entailed or how it was going to play out. I had downloaded the demo and played through one of the boards and immediately I realized it was a game worth buying at full initial price. What draw me to it was how the game played which was similar to the Total War series except with some RPG elements and modern weaponry. Read more »

Jon’s Initial Review: I haven’t played a Rainbow Six game since Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear. A lot has changed since those days. Not just the graphics and AI, but the feel of a first person shooter has changed. What I noticed most about the advancement of Rainbow Six series was how more real it has become. When running you feel like your actually running, with heavy breathing and gun movement. When shot the screen blurs just enough where you feel stunned and something really happened to you. The realism is pretty intense.
I’m finding the story a little difficult to follow, perhaps its because I’ll play for a few hours and then come back to it a week later so I forget who the different characters are and who I’m hunting. But the customization of your character is extremely detailed. With advancement you can gain new body armor, new weapons and new clothing. Its not just a choice between 4 or 5 pieces, there is a lot to choose from. More Review to come after I beat the game. Read more »
