Hands-on with Southpeak's FPS/RTS hybrid, Raven Squad (Joystiq)

SouthPeak's Raven Squad - which has dropped the Operation Hidden Dagger subtitle since last year - has a very interesting concept. Raven Squad, you see, employs a combination of real-time strategy and first-person shooter gameplay.

Players take control of two different three-man squads - two players can also command one squad each when playing online - as they fight their way through an enemy-infested jungle. The game can be switched from an overhead RTS view to a first-person view at any time, making the game very different from other shooters on the market.

how perfect dark zero has an 81 metascore is beyond me. it just shows how lenient critics are towards xbox games. They all jumped on haze, when really the only problem was that it was "bland" and "mediocre." Perfect dark zero is a broken, primitive, ugly mess.

The Xbox has 6 exclusives?
I kid, I kid. Don't flame me lol.
But I I thought perfect dark zero was a good one since some of my friends said they enjoyed it. But since I don't own the console I can't say for my self. A couple of these games I haven't even heard of tbh.

I bought Two Human for about £1.75 used... About 7 months after release

For the price I paid it was "okay" but if I had bought it brand new, I'd be pretty miffed.

The rest look like junk and glad I've not played them.

I quite liked Too Human and perfect Dark Zero, maybe I just have lower standards? Havent played the rest though.

Out of Eight: Raven Squad Review

Out of Eight writes: "Remember the '80s? You know, full of crappy action movies like Rambo, Commando, and...uh...Commando (and Rambo). Get to the choppa! And all that jazz. It's a wonder nobody has capitalized on using that ever-popular tropical jungle setting for a campy action title. That is until now! Raven Squad lets you lead two groups of commandos (to I guess it should really be called Raven Squads) in to the jungle, possibly involving Jesse Ventura. The game attempts to combine the action of first person shooters and the planning of real time strategy games into a cohesive package of awesomeness. Though we have mostly seen use of role-playing elements in other genres, a FPS-RTS combination is almost unique. How does it all work out?"
