Do you remember the first Just Cause? Maybe barely, because it supposedly wasn’t bad, but just mediocre enough to disappear almost immediately from the gaming consciousness. Well, several of you guys told me to watch the above video for Just Cause 2, and man, I’m glad you did, because Holy. Fucking. Shit. I’m not talking about the massive environment, the plethora of vehicles, the parachute or anything like that. But when you can use a grappling hook to attach a guy to a gas tank, shoot the gas tank, and have that gas tank drag some bastard around while setting him on fire… that’s a game I’m buying as soon as humanly possible.
