SAN FRANCISCO, CA., September 25, 2002 - The Ghosts are back and ready to storm the island of Cuba! Ubi Soft Entertainment announced today that Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon(TM): Island Thunder(TM)  ships today for the PC within the United States.

Taking the next step in battlefield realism, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder is the latest expansion pack of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, winner of PC Gamer's and IGN.com's PC Game of the Year in 2001.
