We're up to our ears in modern shooters, so one more shouldn't break out backs. It's only a matter of days before zombie and post-apocalypse games overtake them in ubiquity, in any case.

The latest Rainbow Six: Patriots trailer, which aired last night at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, still doesn't show any gameplay, though what it does reveal is enticing. Rainbow Six titles have always been more tactical than their similar cousins Call of Duty, Battlefield and the like, so they do tend to offer something different. Will you be able to tear yourself away from other modern shooters by the time Patriots comes out in 2013?
