Story:Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment. Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles - you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field. If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new cooperative multiplayer mode. You are not a soldier. You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you will fulfill the terms of the contract, no matter what. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honorable. Everyone will try and screw you, given the chance. They think they can get away with it, because they don't know rule #1: EVERYBODY PAYS.Show more

Played it back on the 360 I was impressed by the building destruction and the function that you could call in vehicle just where ever was so fun, it was fun to just drive around on the map also

I loved playing this on the 360 many years ago. The open world felt full and satisfying. The destruction was incredible to behold at its peak. Setting off a nuke not only felt powerful, but left a genuine long-lasting impact in the game world, which genuinely surprised me. The fact that this game wasn't preserved/carried over onto the Xbox One is a shame. It's an error we can correct by voting for it here.

Hopefully this gets re-released on GOG with a few bug fixes to bring it up to par with with the console version because while not as good as Mercenaries 1 it was still great being able to blow everything up.

THIS GAME HAS TO COME BACK! Was so fun playing on the 360, such a good game to play, the destruction physics was amazing for its time, the collectables and challenges i remember being fun to grind. Story was good, its just a shame the only way to play it is having a 360 and the physical copy. If GOG got this, it would honestly make my year!

I finally got this game towards the end of the 360 days, it was 1 of the very few games i could play all day. Collecting supplies to watch it stock pile in the mansion, working with the pirates and destroying buildings was so satisfying. Ive played thousands of games since and not 1 has been able to scratch that itch that this game did, not even mercenaries 1. Ive been debating on buying a new 360 just to play this again, i miss my russian pilot

I'll fully admit this wasn't quite as good as the first game at least in terms of story but man it was still fun and the gameplay loop was still top notch. I play the PS3 version now and then because my PC version is a PITA to do anything with.

Everybody pays, but only when Everybody PLAYS. This game is something of an OG in the field of freedom to roam and destroy things. It was such a fantastic series!
I used to spend hours and hours on this game with my brother.. The drop in/drop out co-op was amazing. We both loved the first game but to be able to play 2 together sealed the deal for us. Driving tanks through the city, clearing out pockets of resistance.. Flying two helicopters loaded with AI troops into an objective to wage war on a stronghold.. Accidentally making both the AN and the Chinese factions angry and having to run for our lives in the craziest fashion possible.. There was one time my bro's boat got hit with a rocket and sent him catapulting into the water, which then led to a chaotic water rescue with me yelling "Where's are you!?" To him responding "I'm ROFLing in the sea!" As large waves toss him around.. So many great memories. We were heartbroken when we weren't able to play anymore. Really, really hope I can dig into this wonderful game again!

My dad used to let me watch him play Mercenaries 1 and eventually let me play myself, no game can ever beat running around as Mattias In Mercenaries and 2 is just an amazing continuation of that
Some core memory stuff right here wish I could play it again. I know it prob dose not stand up but I wish I could relive those moments with that great music blowing stuff up, the guy going "I dont need to walk to fly".

Turok
TurokTurok is a first-person shooter developed by Propaganda Games, and published by Touchstone Games and Disney Interactive Studios, originally for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2008. It was later ported on to Microsoft Windows in April 2008. A sequel was planned and developed for the Xbox 360 but it was cancelled before it was even officially announced. The game is loosely based on the comic book series of the same title and is unrelated to the story and setting of previous Turok video games. Players assume the role of Native American space marine Joseph Turok, who is part of a team sent to a remote planet to apprehend his previous commanding officer, General Roland Kane, now a wanted war criminal. After crash landing, Turok discovers this planet is home to all manner of dinosaurs, and must fight both the predatory creatures and Kane's private army on his mission to take down his former mentor.
