The map Skid Row. Camping our favorite building. I'm lobbing grenades out the window (One Man Army FTW) and he's sniping people through a hole in the wall. After a few kills, I hear from him, 'Just like old times, eh Shepard?'

Finally pulled off a First Blood kill on Wasteland with the n00b tube. Lobbed that sucker up, explosion, host rage quits. 18 months away, and I pull that off my first night back.

What an absurdly hilarious game.

I have some footage of cops flying into buildings, slam dunking my car from above, and general shenanigans. I need to edit that into a video sometime.

The game is bad, but I don't think I've laughed as hard playing any other game as I have with Driv3r. I still have a copy, even though I don't have an original Xbox anymore. One of these days I'll pick up another one just to play it again.

I'm wanting to play it again too now! I miss that drawbridge in Miami you had to activate then run to your car to drive off the incline.

The little blues and I are known to break out Big Bumpin' from time to time.

From a standing start the police cars will do a wheelie when they start after you. If they pin your car agaist something they will just keep piling more and more police cars on top of you like something out of the Blues Brothers. Late coming police cars will ramp off of the pile and go flying into buildings. Sometimes hitting curbs just right will send you flying over skyscrapers.

Here's a video:

The sheer scale of Just Cause 2 is amazing. It's not as complex of a world as a GTA game, but it's bigger. I remember once taking over a 747 and flying for 15+ minutes in one direction at max speed, and I STILL hadn't crossed the map yet.

Whaaaaa? You must've tethered another 747 to your plane.

I remember once taking over a 747 and flying for 15+ minutes in one direction at max speed, and I STILL hadn't crossed the map yet. And with the grappling ability and infinite parachutes, it's a game that does a great job making you feel empowered to do over-the-top awesome things.

Just Cause 2 - Less of a guilty pleasure, more of a hidden gem. This game rivals even Saints Row for pure, unadulterated open world madness. Story is hilariously bad (in a good way), and it has such a great set of sandbox toys, and it's on the steam sale with all of the additional content for 15$ right now. GO BUY IT. You already missed it for half that price 2 days ago!

It's also currently $9.99 on the Playstation Store ($7.99 if you have PS+). I didn't like the first one at all, past the thirty minutes of goofing around I managed to do when I rented it however long ago. But 8 bucks is definitely a price that made me look at Just Cause 2. The reviews and videos I've seen make it sound pretty good. May have to give it a try.

Not for the completionists OCD people, since at least one of the destructables necessary for 100% completion of side objectives is broken, as is the spawn frequency of a certain bus (I got lucky and managed to board one, but never seen even once since).

Whenever I'm zapping channels and happen to stumble upon it, I can't take my eyes off of it. It's like visual cocaine. Insane.

I've logged about 30 hours into this game and have enjoyed every second of it. There's something so liberating about landing supersonic fighters and military transport aircraft on that bridge adjacent to the Panau International Airport. But yeah, totally worth the pennies you'll pay for this. Would've been great had it included campaign co-op.
