The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A deliberate, tactical shooter that feels like commanding an elite squad through tense, modern military engagements.

What players say

Players say Desert Siege is a short but welcome expansion that moves Ghost Recon to Africa, adding a handful of weapons and vehicles. The tactical, punishing combat is intact, but the graphics and AI feel dated, especially for newcomers. Fans of the base game generally enjoy it, while some find it a creaky relic.
