Humble Tom Clancy Bundle 2 Sneaks Into View


Posted on January 7, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

The Division

Humble Bundle’s latest tiered selection of games once again selects titles from series bearing the name of late author Tom Clancy. Whether you are going to be planning missions for Team Rainbow or sneaking down corridors as Sam Fisher  there are a number of games available at a few price points.

Interestingly the “beta the average” tier also includes beta access to Tom Clancy’s Division on PC later this year.

Here’s the full list of available of titles:

$1 or more

  • Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six (1998)
  • Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3 (2003)
  • Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas (2006)
  • Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (2005)
  • Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon (2001)

Beat The Average

  • Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (2008)
  • Tom Clancy’s The Division beta access (Unreleased)
  • Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction (2010)
  • Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell (2002)

$10 Or More

  • Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Black List (2013)
  • Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Solder (2012)

Quite a lot of entertainment to be had for $10 if you don’t mind the slightly right wing militaristic agenda that Clancy’s novels, and so some extent games drove home. Personally I was a huge fan of the first Rainbow Six – on release it was quite innovative with its planning phases and A.I.

It should be noted that all of these games require U-Play.

The Division To Allow Some Realtime Swapping


Posted on November 14, 2015 by Kenny Keelan

The Division

In a pretty awesome Q&A video with the developers of The Division, some pretty neat details about the game are revealed: first and foremost, the ability to hotswap abilities and gun customizations while in the open world and in combat situations. It’s said that you can have two active abilities at any one time, however, you can swap those abilities out for any of the abilities you’ve earned to that point and the same goes for the appearance and utility of your weapons. It is insinuated, though, that you have to do so through the menu interface so while you’re able to swap during combat situations it’s not recommended that you do so unless you can do so very quickly.

It’s also touched on that you can have four characters maximum attached to an account; this is handy for those who want to experiment with different play styles or loadouts. However, there’s some light insinuation that level difference between characters will be considered when matching them so keeping the level of your characters varied may be a good thing to keep in mind.

Also, for some crazy reason, there’s been an outcry for a couple types of hats… and that’s just… well, it was addressed. Just gonna leave that one at that.

If you want to watch the video, follow the link.
