Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was one of the best competitive online first person shooters released this year. At least on the PC side of things, the community is extremely healthy and you'll even find stronger competition and a more active and mature user base than the Call of Duty games. This month EA and DICE released a $15 multiplayer expansion for Bad Company 2, and it's worth every penny.Ba... more.

It's Friday and that means another Old Republic update from Bioware.
