Just Cause 2

Date played: August 11th
Platform: PC
Time played: 70 minutes
Session fun rating: 8/10

The game ran much better this time around, it must have been those pesky Windows Updates that screwed everything up the last time.  I spent most of my time just fucking around today.  I think that this is this game's purpose.  Grab some ammo, grab some weapons and grapple hook your way to destruction!

Passenger jets make great stunt planes
This actually feels like a reverse Spider-Man game.  Rico can sort of web swing with his grappling hook and parachute.  Basically, I just grapple the ground, open my parachute and coast by periodically grabbing the ground again to give myself momentum.  It sounds crazy but it plays like Spider-Man 2 in a lot of ways.

Oh yeah and I flew a giant passenger jet and parachuted out to watch the spectacular explosion when it hit the ground.  This game is crazy.
