Mercenaries 2: World in Flames was fun while it lasted, but after I beat the final mission and completed virtually every optional quest, I let the game sit on my shelf, permanently. But now that free downloadable content is coming to Mercs 2, I might have to go dig out the title for another play session.
The DLC in question is currently up on the PlayStation Network and is set to hit the Xbox LIVE Marketplace on December 16. The pack contains a bunch of new game modes (almost like mini-games, supposedly), and some "patriotic characters" (yes, them) for you to play as.
The four new modes are called "Urban Rampage," "Death Race," "Arms Race," and "Mercs Blitz," but no specific information on what they actually entail was given out. I think Pandemic should have made a Jason Statham character skin for "Death Race," but that's just me.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

(This all coming from the person whose Saint's Row 2 character had a striking resemblance to Batman the Animated Series' Joker, mind you.)
I had no clue this was in the DLC. OMG!
