I’m counting the days for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (which real fans simply refer to as… GRAW 2) hitting store shelves. It’s rare for me to get all excited over shooters — mainly because of the fact that, well… I usually suck at them (sup Halo 2. But when the original 360 release came out, I took a leap of faith and it was awesome! I never got around to completing the single-player campaign on hard (long story) but I plan on finishing the sequel from beginning to end.

Lock ‘n load

In case you haven’t head the news, GRAW 2 has gone gold, which means it won’t be long before hundreds of gamers will be putting aside their love for Gears of War, Halo 2 and [insert other addictive game here] in favor of this sweet, SWEET gem. Mark your calendars down because I’m only going to say this once: March 8th. There I said it…. now it’s your duty to make sure you pick up a copy on day one. Brush up on your skills because I intend to take some of you punks out on XBLA. That’s right — I’m talking trash; whaddya going to do about it?

But seriously… I’m told GRAW 2 will feature a co-op campaign mode this time around. That’s great news — we need more games that support co-op; MORE I say. Ubisoft released some new details about achievements — most of which will be online no doubt. I hope they’re actually C-O-O-L. Don’t give me anymore of this: play for 12 hours straight crap. I mean, who cares if you sat on your ass for the entire day? That’s not an achievement… it’s a cry for a help that you’ve lost touch with reality. Ok, I’m good now — remember… March 8th. See ya then.
