The recent talk of Pandemic has made me realize something: I haven't played a truly crazy action game since Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. And no, Modern Warfare 2 doesn't count. Can you fall hundreds of feet from a helicopter and still survive the landing? Exactly.
Just Cause 2, or as I like to call it sometimes, Just 'Cause 2, looks to be the next decent void-filler. Between the grappling hook improvements and the increased options for base jumping with a more vertical game world, I cannot wait for March 23 to get here.
I was the guy who spent an unholy amount of time just flying peacefully through the sky in Super Mario 64. Who knows what will happen to my social life when Just Cause 2 hits. Bad things, probably.

But personally I think Red Faction Guerilla filled the Mercenaries void better than Mercs 2 did.
I can understand perfectly well why JC2 is appealing. I don't know if I will buy it, but I would surely love to give it a spin for some speed dives.
I'm so glad you can see the connection between those two games. I recently started playing SM64 again, and it's making me look forward to Just Cause 2 even more.
Also, that guy was me.
And I want it.
i want to be able to browse the game store again without already having played everything there!
i foresee this being a browsing find a little later as I've got a lot of games to play in march. I'm gonna be totally stoked when I come across it at a bargain price later in the year.
Still one of my most anticipated games, just not a frist day buy for me, rather a 2 months after awesome find and joyous return to the days of game store browsing.
Am I not buying games so that i can browse them later? Oh dear.
