Modern Warfare 2 – Stimulus Package is coming to the PC this week and that should excite the online PC gamers, they always get the short end of the stick when it comes to release dates. Poor PC gamers.
Iron Man 2 releases on all major platforms this week. Licensed games are generally mediocre at best but we will see if Iron Man 2 improves on the first Iron Man game.
Several Wii, DS and a PSP titles round out the releases this week. Most of these titles are family or children’s games although I am sure there is excitement among the Fat Princess series fans that a version will now be available on the PSP.

Just Cause 2 Review
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
Overall Score: 8.0
Graphics: B-
Controls: C
Entertainment: A
Replayability: A
Story: C
Platform(s): 360/PS3/PC
Release Date: 3/23/10
Genre: Action/Sandbox
Local: 1
Online: n/a
ESRB: (M) Mature
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Square Enix
Summary:
Mash Mercenaries 2 and Saints Row 2 together and you get Just Cause 2. Just Cause 2 is a fun open world game that is not perfect, but will provide you with hours of enjoyable gaming. The parachute and grappling mechanics make the game unique and fun. Just Cause 2 gives you many choices in terms of how you want to complete missions, the order you complete them in, and how you spend your time outside of missions.
Some mechanics of the game can be frustrating at times. The movement and driving mechanics are sluggish and not as good as similar games like Saints Row 2 and GTA IV, although the grappling and parachuting mechanics are very well executed. The graphics are okay but the map is gigantic, bigger than any open world game I have seen before. The story and voice acting are mediocre at best, but the game is still fun even without having a great story.
Pros:
- Huge Open World Map
- Fun parachute and grappling mechanics
- Many hours of fun gameplay
Cons:
- Driving and control physics could use improvement
- Story and voice acting mediocre at best
Full Review:
Just Cause 2 is a single player action game where you play as an agent of the U.S. government who is trying to overthrow a foreign dictator in Panau. The game is played in a huge open world environment that gives you the freedom to go where you want and play the game at your own pace. There are currently no multiplayer options for this game. That is a shame because this would have been a very fun game to play with a friend, similar to the way Saints Row 2 was.
Your ultimate mission to topple the evil regime is completed by creating chaos on the island of Panau. You create chaos by destroying government property or completing mercenary missions. Mercenary missions are given by one of three factions that exists on the island. These are essentially gangs or militias who are fighting against the government for their control of the country. Mercenary missions are opened by creating more chaos.
