Just Cause 2

Any ancient gamers here who can remember all the way back to Quake1 CTF and the fantastic grapple, with all the gameplay options that allowed, should at least try the demo. I'm no fan of 3rd person gaming (it almost, but not quite, ruined Dead Space for me), but it works pretty well here (great animations) and the grapple, all on its own, may justify the price of entry.

I only spent about 20 minutes playing around, but I had a lot of fun experimenting. The physics is a bit iffy to boost the fun factor, but when you're smiling you're not really worrying about the strange behaviour of those rocket-like gas bottles. :-)

I may crack and try this sooner rather than later... though I'll be spending a lot more time in the demo first. The novelty may soon wear off, which is why I always try to avoid that release day spending itch.

PS Auto-aim (assuming it's on, I didn't check) on the default settings didn't strike me as particularly obvious.
 
play.com dropped the ball on this one too, harumph. That's three or four in a row I haven't had on release day. Not that it makes much difference but I'm feeling a little left out here :D
Had good experiences with coolshop so far and they're very cheap, think I'll go with them for the next game I order.
 
I just stole a jumbo jet , flew it towards a high rise building in the city while riding the top... Jumped and Kabooooom! , 9/11 Just Cause style
 
I'm very tempted to get this, but after playing the demo extensively, I found it got a bit boring after a while. Has this happened to anyone yet in game?
 
So far finding this a very good game. Graphics are simply sublime, possibly the best I've seen in a long, long time. Running very well on my modest rig.
 
Has anyone captured that large airfield in the desert part of the island? Has lot of nice jets. I'm stuck at 97% can't find the last ruddy bonus box! I'm convinced its bugged. Not on my main PC atm so can't check the name of the airfield but its the biggest on the map in the desert area.
 
Had a few I thought were bugged but when I've gone back to them I've spotted the generator or crate I missed straight away, pretty sure they weren't spawned the first time!!
