SLCentral.com has kicked up a review on Ubi Soft's tactical first person shooter, The Sum Of All Fears. The game ends up with a score of 7.5/10, so you might want to check out this review before rushing to your local comp shop. uNF:

The Hostage Rescue Team units operate in groups of three, which means you'll always have two teammates to be responsible for. Unlike the earlier games, where your teammates followed their own orders and offered fire support, your immediate HRT teammates will accept orders from you, such as tossing a flashbang into a room, or securing a particular area, or just plain staying put. My only beef with them is that they have virtually no intelligence with regards to how to toss a grenade into a room. They open the door wide open, wait a few seconds, toss the grenade, don't bother to actually close the door again…It's about the worst possible way to handle stealth. They should just crack the door a bit, toss it in through the crack, and then pull and hold the door shut.
