It was announced, it was Confirmed, no rumours nor speculations, two great titles are coming to PC, what they seems to be the most destructive games graphically, what i'm talking about is:

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

With an August 31 of 08 as the confirmed release date, Mercenaries 2 is a game set in Venezuela (southamerica country), were armed and political conflicts comes as a especial opportunity for the mercs, Mattias Nilson (The Animal), Chris Jacobs (The Leader), and Jennifer Mui (The Femme Fatale), to gain some money and blowing all the s*** up. Now that i told you a little brief about the story, let me tell you about the gameplay, which will be awesome and a hell of a fun; if you played the first Mercs, you know how the gameplay will be, but for those who didn't played, Mercenaries, is a free roam (GTA- like) game, where you can go anywhere and do anything, blow up buildings, fire big guns, hijack military and casual vehicles, order drops in of special vehicles, ammo, and bombs, and more, more, more!. I'm trully excited with this one, not only because the graphics and features, is because i want to see how they recreate and renders Venezuela, because i travelled almost every place of it, and to be honest with you, is not a paradise, but it has some sweet spots and places around to join just for a while.Can't wait to drop a big Nuke all over Caracas!! heheh..

Burnout Paradise

A vast array of vehicles will race and go wild on a PC game called Burnout Paradise, which is a destructive racer, were every screw and every part of the car, counts!, it just looks awesome and will be awesome!. No confirmed release date, where i presume will be released it at November, if not December, or October maybe. Check http://www.criteriongames.com/ for recent updates about this game.
UPDATE: Well, as no official release dates has been comfirmed, most of game websites like gamespot and gamestop has posted a possible release date in 1Q 2009 (First Quarter of 2009). Is sad it won't be released this year, but is a safe bet that the game will be a real deal when it comes out

So, that's it, two great games that will destroy a lot of PC's this year (literally, nuff said), that i believe they will earn scores from 9.0 out of 10, to beyond the 9.0 either. Can't wait for them!
