You may have heard any number of rumors about Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. One of which was its arrival on Xbox 360. But did you hear about the PC and PS2 versions? Truth is, Pandemic has played a sly game of moving shells for some time now. First, EA and Pandemic announced they're jointly publishing the game, and now Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is coming to Xbox 360, PC, and PS2.
What else is going on? To answer all those burning questions, IGN spoke on the phone with Pandemic's Senior Producer Jonathan Zamkoff, former Activision producer who worked on four different Spider-Man games (i.e. all of them). Zamkoff now works at Pandemic Studios and overlooks the development of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, due this fall (2007) on multiple systems.
Bad ports don't necessarily mean bad games, but they're inexcusable nonetheless. From the lazy to the straight-up weird, poor ports can cost companies a Bad ports don't necessarily mean bad games, but they're inexcusable nonetheless.

There are oh, so many sequels in video games these days. We've got eight games that we wish would get a follow up.
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.
Folklore was great! Great mechanics and atmosphere. Shame it never got too much notice
Yeah. If I hadn't played the demo I would've probably missed out on it as well.
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
All publicity is good, right? Well, not always. Here's a look at a few of the best (and worst) publicity stunts for games.
im a huge fan of this franchise so i cant wait :)
huh?
Loved the first one - I bought it about 9 months after its release after it had dropped to $29.99, and I couldn't believe I waited that long to play it.
EDIT: Wow - I just realized I got another bubble...shucks, guys, I'm blushing!
Though it was only a matter of time before it was announced for 360. ill be picking this one up, really enjoyed the 1st on the PS2.
Merc-2 on all platforms really is good news, its one of those franchises(alongside Mortal Kombat) that we wish should be enjoyed by most of the people. Playing these games is like having to know a stand-alone genre. Original Merc was thoroughly supported by the PS2 community, so really why would they deny to that part of the market. PC is finally getting to experience something that exists with console-originality once again. First it has been with Onimusha 4, DMC3 and Resident Evil 4 etc. The original xbox, well, seems to be totally wiped out of memories...Hah ! what fate !!!
