Here's a treat for Ghost Recon fans who also have the cool Sum of all Fears game installed. GWDS has produced an installer that will copy assets from your SOAF install into the Ghost Recon, meaning you can now enjoy the SOAF maps and characters in Ghost Recon.

The pack includes sample mission files for modders to use in the creation of new Ghost Recon missions using these maps and characters. Additionally there are also the original TSAF multiplayer files so you can play SOAF maps online in Ghost Recon!

Tom Clancy Series to Merge?
Posted by Rocky on Saturday, December 15 2007
An article in an Xbox 360 magazine this month all but confirms rumours we'd heard about an interesting development on the cards for the Ghosts, Rainbow Six, and Ubisoft's new RTS title Endwar.

What this means, is possible plot interaction between each of the new Tom Clancy releases next year. Members of Rainbow Six, the Ghosts and perhaps even characters from Splinter Cell might be involved in the Real Time Strategy End War title.

As the next titles in both the Rainbow Six series and the Ghost Recon series are likely to be released next year there's every chance Ubisoft will be confirming this speculation sometime after Christmas. Chances are that this announcement could confirm a new game engine for GRAW3, and a change in development house, possibly taking GR back to it's roots....

Luckily, we have an entire End War discussion forum here, and our sister site AGR-S.com covers the Rainbow Six Series, so whatever develops, we've got it covered!

GPU bundle with GRAW2
Posted by Rocky on Wednesday, December 12 2007
VR Zone have a large article on the new G92 based Nvidia 8800 GTS 512Mb graphics card. If you are confused my the current naming convention for the 8 series of cards with all the varios GT and GTS incarnations, this is a good read.

What they also point out is that the Inno3D 8800 GTS comes with a full copy of GRAW 2. It's a picture heavy review that has some interesting photos, but the benchmarks show only marginal improvements in FPS over the GT model. Read the full 8800GTS review and make up your own mind if it's worth the extra cash.
