Is this summer shooter the game to keep you away from COD4?

Jun 23, 2008

It’s finally arrived – and while the silly story, drab voice acting, contrived dialogue and limp characterisation made us wince more than once, the world that it takes place in is more than enough to compensate for said errors.

Battlefield Bad Company - first look

Destroy your expectations

Jun 20, 2007

The newest Battlefield game doesn't seem like a Battlefield game at all. Luckily, that's exactly what its creators had in mind - something different. To begin with, this entry in the acclaimed multiplayer-focused series is much more interested in single player. Everyone knows Battlefield can handle intense online competition, which is why the makers of Bad Company are eager to prove that it can also excel at storytelling and characters. Soldiers at your control aren't generic avatars anymore. ... » Read Full Battlefield: Bad Company preview
