 "Just Cause 2 Confirmed")
Even though I felt this game was a big disappointment, there were a lot of others who felt differently and Just Cause actually performed well enough to warranty a sequel (which many were expecting). Here’s the lowdown from SCi Entertainment (publisher Eidos’ owners) financial report:
_In the six months to 31 December 2006 the Group’s most successful new product launch was Just Cause. Just Cause was released in September 2006 and immediately entered the UK charts at No 1 in the Microsoft Xbox 360 charts and No 2 in the All Formats charts. We now expect Just Cause to sell over one million units in the current financial year. The sequel to Just Cause is in development.

Brace yourself for more man-on-parachute action…
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
