The Xbox version of Destineer's tactical action game should be in stores right now, the PC version will follow some time around April 18. First to Fight puts you in charge of four-man fire team of US Marines as they go on missions in Beirut, Lebanon. The game features singleplayer and multiplayer modes, including co-op.

  I'm always suspicious when a game just appears out of nowhere with no advance notice. Mother-in-law games generally suck.

    This game has been advertised for months now. Why would you say it just came out of nowhere?

      Because I was referring to the fact that it arrived in the dead of the night wothout a "gone gold" or shipping notice. I see that as a strategy to get sucker buys before the poor reviews start rolling in. Apparently that's the case here with OXM (hardly known for its tough scoring) giving the game a 2.8.

        Hmmm...interesting that the UK OXM gave it an 8.2 and the US OXM gave it a 2.8.
        
        Is it possible that they played two completely different builds of the same game and the US OXM palyed an earlier, incomplete build?
