E3 2008: Mercenaries 2 Lets You Blow Up In-Game Ads For Fun, Profit

Sean Hollister from GameCyte writes: Over three years in the making, and with just a single month before its commercial debut on August 31st, we thought we'd heard everything there was to hear about Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. The game's huge. It has online co-op. You can blow $#!^ up. But while exploring Pandemic Studios' next-gen playground of destruction at E3 2008, we noticed something new: lots and lots of billboards, with the word "Massive" embedded in placeholder text near the bottom of each.

Holy awesome. The best Enviromental Destruction system just got better. This and Red Faction 3 will redefine ED.

Awesome. If we've gotta have in-game ads (and let's face it folks, they're coming), then at least give us the option of blowing them the hell up. :)

Mercs2 is the best game ever created, and none of you can tell me different. I bought my PS3 for Mercs2.

I cant agree with a lot of games on this list. Far, far more deserving entries - which I wont go into now. All I will say is Blast Corps U...I can dream, cant I?

The Darkness games are among my favorite games of last gen. Both were very unique in their own ways. I'd love to see a third iteration though I doubt it'll happen.

Folklore 2 would be nice as well.

idlet3441d ago

Folklore was great! Great mechanics and atmosphere. Shame it never got too much notice

I_am_Batman3441d ago

Yeah. If I hadn't played the demo I would've probably missed out on it as well.

Helloween133442d ago

Well apart from Jak and Daxter the rest are total crap and I for 1 are glad there was no more of that crap, now if you want to talk about Heavenly sword and Medievil now thats 2 that should have another go at this gen

Legend of Dragoon. That is all that needs to be said.
