Now, some of you might remember that way back in MGPBQGT #2 (http://www.mature-gamers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3769&postcount=3) I said the following on the topic of moving a game like Sniper Elite to the modern theatre:
If there's one thing I want in the gaming world right now, it's a good dedicated sniper title.
So, jump left and fast-forward to now where I am sitting here, staring disbelievingly at exactly what I was pining for not so long ago: a dedicated modern sniper game, complete with stealth, realistic sniping and all the high calibre goodness that sniper rifles bring to the world... what am I looking at? I'm looking at Sniper: Ghost Warrior (http://www.sniperghostwarrior.com/).

Now, ladies and gentlemen, as I am Australian we can all immediately assume that I am, of course, a Sniper. So, naturally, I am incredibly excited about this game. There is, however, one thing niggling at my mind: the game is being developed by City Interactive who have made a good handful of FPS games previously... but, well, I'd never heard of them until now and that tells me that their games weren't entirely brilliant.
But that's OK, because the recently released trailer detailing the basics of the sniping and stealth mechanics seems to point towards this game winding up as something that should be remarkable fun.

This baby is slated to hit the PC and 360 sometime this year.
So, any other snipers keeping a keen eye trained on this one?
