Rainbow Six: Lockdown


I was a big fan of this franchise when it first came out. I played it on Nintendo 64 and the PC. I loved the strategy and I loved the pre-planning of the missions. With the new Rainbow Six games, starting with Rainbow Six 3, they just changed. Ubisoft bought Redstorm and they messed the whole forumla up. The series turned into an arcade shooter. I'm not saying they're bad games, they just weren't what they used to be. They didn't have the same feel and it took the strategy and planning out of the games.
OK, after saying this, let's get started on Rainbow Six: Lockdown. Well, it's an arcade shooter. Think Halo goes Rainbow. It's not a bad game. Single player wasn't that great and it seemed pretty easy. Sometimes the AI was a little off and they did some stupid, stupid stuff, both my guys and the bad guys. The sniper missions were just terrible. On most the stages I thought I shot all the guys. I got all the guys I saw then-BAM- Chavez is down. Who in the hell shot him? I don't know. I didn't see the freaking guy each time I played the stage. So, like I said, it's a not a bad single player game, it's just not the same thing as it was back when it first game out in the late 90's.
Multiplayer was pretty fun. I liked the idea of the PEC (leveling up your character every so often), except you had to play so much to get a substansial level. I played for several hours and only got to level 4 or so. So either I just suck extremely bad or there is a problem with the leveling system. Also the points. Why so much to change a freaking shirt or to add a hat? And body armor? You have to level up to buy that. I think the PEC was a little off balance and favored people who played more, but it's a good addition to the online aspect of the game I would like to see in other games, like Ghost Recon.
Bottom line, if you don't have a lot of time, don't waste it on a game that costs $50 and isn't that great. Spend your time playing Ghost Recon 2 online or the new Battlefield 2 for Xbox. I won't buy another Rainbow Six game until they go back to the way it was-planning waypoints in blueprints and more realistic. That's called fun.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
