If you've been to the official Rainbow Six website lately, you'll notice that there is a 360 hour countdown until a "major 360 announcement" is made.

There is little doubt in my mind that this announcement will be the first next-gen Rainbow Six game, but I've been known to be wrong from time to time. Well, scratch that- I'm pretty sure about this one.

Despite the countdown, I don't know how many people are really that excited, I mean- the last few Rainbow Six games haven't been exactly brilliant. But, if there were a time for the franchise to make a turnaround, the 360 wouldn't be a bad place to start.

If you're interested, the countdown expires on March 6th. Check back for an update on the official announcement once zero hour has arrived.
