As the release of Mercenaries 2 draws ever closer, a new hands-on preview by Next Generation shows that there are a few clouds on the (destructible) horizon:
"There's certainly nothing wrong with Mercenaries 2 from a technical or visual standpoint – everything collapses in a chunky, crumbly manner and looks reasonably authentic while it does so. Perhaps it's more that the game is devoted purely to destruction, and the world of Mercenaries 2 has obviously been built to be destroyed. At times, it feels more like you're facing dominos than houses.
Of course, the destruction works as it should, and sometimes spectacularly so: bridge supports can be taken out, trees can be burned, houses can be blown out and entire towns can be flattened with airstrikes. But perhaps there's an overriding sense of ennui: despite the bigger bangs, bigger crashes and bigger draw distance, it's all just a little familiar."
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.
Did someone say Halo 3? No complaints there with the fans nor with M2.
better vehicles, destructable environment & sandbox gameplay.
better version of Mercenaries.
Sh1t M2 has my money for sure.
This game deserves more credit. I just hope GG are watching for gameplay ideas for KZ2.
