Rainbow Six: Vegas screens have Vegas glow

Rainbow Six: Vegas was "officially" announced today--although everyone knew about it last week. Along with the announcement comes some fancy screenshots, courtesy of Xboxyde.

A couple thoughts on the screenshots:

• I don't trust screenshots, for two main reasons. Games invariably look better in motion and rarely look as good as early screenshots. So it's a lose-lose situation. If they do show them in motion, and they look that good, they're probably CGI (see Killzone 2 trailer).

• The videos of Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and the screenshots of Splinter Cell: Double Agent have convinced me that Ubisoft is capable of walking their talk, as it were. This bodes well for the validity of these screens.

Get ready to shove more cash into Tom Clancy's bulging pockets this fall.
