Viva Pinata DS is coming out this week in Pal-land so I'll probably get that - maybe. I might opt for the 360 version, but, I don't know. Isn't that multiplayer focused? My friends don't want to play video games - except if it's PES or Mario Kart - so I'm leaning towards the DS version.

I've had a guy who has been playing Mercenaries 2 on my XBL Friends List for a few weeks now. I wasn't really anticipating the game, so I didn't know that it hadn't come out yet. That is very cool.

I was looking forward to this game. After reading some forums I think I'll rent in first now.

Best commercial for a video game ever, well next to the original Smash Bros.

Oh and you can download the full version of the song at mercs2.com, I think that's the site anyway.

I've been playing Mercs 2, and I think it's a game that's going to show the weaknesses in the game review system. It's unpolished, the graphics(especially during cutscenes) are pretty bad, the AI is dirt stupid, and the dialog is near non-existent.

----BUT----

It's the most fun I've had with a game for a while. I mean it, it is just pure fun. It's the kind of fun where you are just giggling nonstop like a little girl. Everything is destructible, and it all explodes in a very pleasing way. The ability to walk into a firefight, then step back a few yards and blow them to hell and back with an airstrike is reason enough to buy this game.

I'm losing faith in the game critics every day. A 5? A 5 is what a rushed movie tie-in gets. I think these critics need to step back and remember what gaming is all about: fun. And there's TONS to be had in Mercs 2, despite the cosmetic blemishes.

I give it an 8.5.

I wrote a big reply agreeing with the mudkip, but i dont think it registered so ill shorten it down. Mercs 2 is fucking awesome with a ridiculous amount of explosions that will make you wish you had a better TV to watch them, and Eurgamer reviewers have a huge stick up their ass

Didn't even mention Infinite Undiscovery in the writeup? Burn. Then again, I haven't been keeping up with the previews, so I don't know if it's actually quality gaming or not.

And holy shit, Mercenaries 2 is on the PS2?

Mercenaries 2 my ass. The biggest release this week is Super Mario RPG on NA virtual console. Not that I have anything against Mercenaries 2, but it simply isn't SMRPG.

Comments like this make me happy that the vast majority of Joystiq posters don't have jobs where important decisions are made.

I wonder how the heck they get the PS3 version being the largest out of those boxes, when it's in a Blu-Ray case. >_>?

dont trust the reviews, all the technical little problems and nuisances that give it a low score are way outweighed by the amount of simple fun

Exactly!!!

Mercenaries 2 For the ps2 but NOT for the wii -which has better graphics and faster speeds?? WOW.

More "Wii" games please.. Like Wii Mercs, or Wii Shoot!

And that my peeps is what I'm getting at.. 3rd parties have little faith in the wii ans thats because its the "casual gamers" console, point blank.
