The open-world action sequel sees returning protagonist Rico Rodriguez battling an evil dictatorship in his home country \u2013 so expect a lot explosions, gun fire and more stunts than you can shake a stick at.<\/p>\n<p>Like previous games in the series, Rico\u2019s best friend is a grappling hook that allows him to hook onto nearly any object, and a new wing suit in addition to the parachute makes his manouvre repertoire that much more exciting.<\/p>\n<p>The title features a 400 square mile map covering three main areas, each of which will be explorable from the start. Rico can take command of Medici\u2019s towns and use them to fast travel, hideout or save vehicles that can be called in as supply drops.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LR4EBYeh8BQ?rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Rainbow Six: Siege \u2013 December 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>(Xbox One, PS4, PC)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After a relatively long hiatus, the tactical shooting series of <em>Rainbow Six<\/em> is back.<\/p>\n<p><em>Siege<\/em> focuses on intense and tactical\u00a0close-quarter battles\u00a0\u2013 such as\u00a0breaching scenarios and hostage situations \u2013\u00a0where teamwork and quick-thinking is required by both teams to accomplish their objectives or foil the other team\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>The game will also feature heavy emphasis on destruction, as\u00a0players can break structures by planting explosives on them, or to make bullet holes on walls by shooting it.
