These are hardly the point, but go a long way in making what is otherwise a stock action-RPG more immersive than it should be. The real test is how well its given set of character classes, equipment, magical items and foes hold up over countless stages of battle. Crystal Chronicles’ top-down gameplay has been compared to Diablo and Zelda, but is most reminiscent of Gauntlet, in which a small band of heroes roved endlessly across tidy little maps filled with monsters and treasure chests. Brilliantly, the countless skirmishes you’ll encounter reflect the turn...
...interviewed by TIME and gave a chilling description of a recent attack on the Marines there. He said when three U.S. tanks, six humvees and about 70 Marines entered the Nazar district of Fallujah, a group of 25 insurgents ambushed them with a Russian-made PK machine gun, an RPG and AK assault rifles; destroyed one tank and disabled another; and fled before the Americans could return fire.

The Army is concerned that the eight-wheel battle wagons are vulnerable to the insurgents' favorite weapon--the primitive but ubiquitous rocket-propelled grenade (RPG). So more than 100 soldiers and contractors have been working virtually around the clock, bolting a 5,200-lb. metal cage resembling a big green catcher's mask around each vehicle. The cage's metal slats are designed to detonate an incoming RPG some 18 in. away from the Stryker, minimizing the round...
