what the hell =(
Now who gets the money for all the games his name is slapped on?
I have a love-hate relationship with Tom Clancy books (well mostly just the Jack Ryan ones) they are always so fucking needlessly long with so much prep for the action-y bits, but the action-y bits always turn out to be amazing enough that it made the 900 pages of fluff worth reading the exception is obviously red storm rising which was basically fucking awesome in every way [editline]2nd October 2013[/editline] Endgame was pretty good too

His writing is bloated and awkward, but the stories are (usually) great and some of them have some incredible prescience. I still can't get over how ridiculous Ghost Recon is- in the game, released in 2001, the Russians invade Georgia in April 2008 to secure the 'independence' of the pro-Russian South Ossetia region. In real life, in August 2008 the Russians invaded Georgia to secure the 'independence' of South Ossetia. Him working with videogame companies was pretty much the best thing that could happen to a genre dominated by overly simplistic bro-shooters, although admittedly his writing could tend towards the 'USA IS DOMINATE' side at times.

I liked Red Storm Rising as a kid, but looking back ten years later I now see it as a "Call of Duty"-ized vision of what World War III could look like. Still, that book did introduce me to popular image of the Cold War what-if scenario as a massive clash of mechanized forces.

The degree of realism in that game is second to none, the only bit that's 'gamey' are the tiny maps due to memory limits. The original Ghost Recon is one of my favorite shooters. It's extremely realistic and unforgiving the way the ARMA games are, but it's sleek and the learning curve comes from the tactics rather than a messy control scheme. I haven't played the sequels (the future-war-with-gadgets theme is a lot less appealing to me than the modern spec ops style of the original), but the original game is I think one of the best Xbox-era games out there.
