Since the release of the Bad Company 2 PC beta on Thursday, I have had some quality play time with it, and I'm going to tell you all about it.

The beta only comes with one game mode, Rush, and one map, Port Valdez. Rush... more.

The Good: Campaign is co-op intense fun with a lot of character customization available. The Bad: Online is rough around the edges and could use some work. Let me start off by saying that Army of Two: 40th Day is superior to the original in just about every department with the possible exception of the story.  Army of Two: 40th Day, without a doubt, provides a generous helping of fun.  T... more.
