Spec Ops: The Line

Posted by in Games

Spec Ops: The Line developed by Yager Development for the single player (I didn’t play the multiplayer) is a third person shooter set in Dubai after a giant sandstorm has forced the evacuation of all the inhabitants.  The sandstorm lasted for months and comes back a few times during the game.  This means the setting is desert areas juxtaposed with high class skyscrapers.  If you are familiar at all with Dubai you should recognize a lot of the buildings.
