Everyone's a critic!
Above can be seen my range instructor, who - to be fair - was not as full-on 'Gung-Ho' and stereotyped as the 'Gunny' I had in Americas Army 3.
In fact, this early 'Boot Camp' section of ArmA2 - naturally - follows the same format as AA3's basic training, with the exception of vehicle training and a live fire exercise against fellow troops. (Though had ArmA2 been strict in it's adherence to 'realism' the live fire MOUT section should have been done with laser simulation equipment - that would have been a nice touch.)
As you can see, the level of detail here is superb and I'm not even running a brand new or highly spec'd PC. All this is on a 'medium' setting, and it ran very smoothly - unlike ArmA1!
I have written down some very brief initial thoughts about the game here: Milgeek's ArmA2 early impressions
Ian Livingstone CBE (born December 1949 in Prestbury, Cheshire, England) is an English fantasy author and entrepreneur. Along with Steve Jackson he is the co-founder of the popular and influential series of Fighting Fantasy roleplaying gamebook series and author of many books within that series. He is also one of the co-founders of prominent games company Games Workshop.In the mid 1980s Livingstone did some design work for video game publisher Domark, and in 1993 he returned to the company, this time as a major investor and board member. In 1995 Domark was acquired by the video technology company Eidos plc, which had floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1990, and formed the major part of the newly created Eidos Interactive. In 2005 Eidos was taken over by SCi and Livingstone was then the only former board member to be retained, taking on the role of product acquisition director. He contributed to the Tomb Raider project entitled Tomb Raider: Anniversary (an enhanced version of the original Tomb Raider game), which was released in 2007. In 2009, Japanese video-game company Square Enix completed a buyout of Eidos Interactive and Ian was promoted to Life President of Eidos.
Fantasy Art and Portraits showcases the art from fantasy computer games. We feel Art Lovers shouldn't have to buy and play games just to enjoy great art. It is our mission to bring the art of computer games to Art Lovers who might otherwise miss it.
And because computer games offer the chance to enter the artist's vision, play around with it, and make your own pictures, this is also a site for Writers looking for cover art and Roleplayers looking for portraits for their characters.
Drop by and have a look now!

For a couple of years in the early 90s I created pixelly 'sprite' illustrations for Total! magazine, dedicated to computer gaming. Here's the free badge that came with one issue, featuring the constantly bemused Andy and Steve.
The artwork was created using Deluxe Paint... on an Amiga 500!

Heroes of the Pacific is your typical console cross-over game - it's an arcade-sim with *very* forgiving flight controls (which are easy to control using a mouse or gamepad).
I actually had this game on the original XBox and enjoyed it - but on the PC both the gameplay and the graphics are well bellow par, particularly as the game has been out a few years now.
All the same, as a budget title (I paid just £3 for it!) it's an OK purchase if you want a game that you can grab a quick 10 or 20 minutes of no brainer action.
Disclaimer: Don't ask me how this happened, but taking a screen shot in the 'Reply' mode improves the look of the game ten fold! It doesn't look as good as this during normal play! (IMHO)...If it did it would be an OK game, instead of a crap one!
