Okay, I'm only like 10 months behind the curve here, but I just started playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas a few days ago, and man, what a superb game.

I love the tactical stuff, and sending my two AI-controlled buddies to scout out a room or execute a pincer move on a band of thugs is just good times all around.

By the way, I have both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, but I'm sticking to the 360 version, as I have with all cross-platform titles.

The reason?

Achievement points!

Sony is really missing the boat here, because I bet a lot of gamers with access to both systems are opting to play on the 360 when a game is available for both consoles simply because you want to ratchet up your gamerscore whenever possible.
