LAZY DAY TRAILERS: MERCENARIES 2: WORLD IN FLAMES

I’ve never made a secret of the fact that Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction was one of my favorite games of the last console generation. It was just one of those titles that seemed to have everything – open ended gameplay, massive explosions, vehicle combat, more massive explosions, a load of fun whenever you played it and of course, some really freaking massive explosions. It was, in short, a masterpiece of directed mayhem.

It’s because of that love for Mercenaries that I’m thrilled to announced that GameTrailers.com has posted the debut trailer for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, and you can watch it right here. You know, the more things change, the more they stay the same – while Pandemic Studios may have found a new publisher in the form of Electronic Arts, it looks like everything else has remained pretty much the same… in other words, things still blow up reeeeeeal nicely.

While some of the footage may look a little rough around the edges, it’s still early on and I’m sure the game will go through quite a bit more polishing before release. So far I like what I see – I like it a lot.

For more information on Mercenaries 2, be sure to check out the Mercenaries 2 official website. Those of you who want to download the trailer you just watched in standard or high-definition should head over to GameTrailers.com.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is currently slated to release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and Windows PC some time in 2008.

LAZY DAY TRAILERS: PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 4: THE SNOW IN… NURBURGRING?

Bizarre Creations has released the next sneak peak of their upcoming Xbox 360 racer Project Gotham Racing 4. Last time, they showed us what the rain in St. Petersburg would bring – this time around, they’re treating us to snowfall in Nurburgring. Looks like Bizarre plans on making the environment’s ability to change driving conditions a big part of the PGR experience. Check it out below courtesy of the fine folks over at GameTrailers.com.

Hopefully the release of PGR4 will also result in Geometry Wars 3 being brought to the masses. Project Gotham Racing 4 will be an Xbox 360 exclusive and is currently slated to release some time this holiday season.
