tonight i bought the latest issue of oxm and along with it, on the disc, is a demo of splinter cell: conviction and just cause 2. just cause 2, my first impressions,were good. i have played the first just cause on the ps2 system and was not impressed. but the second game on the xbox 360 console is different and right now? i recommend it. it was my first experience of sandbox gameplay on the console. i have not played grand theft auto iv.

you play as a rebel fighting against an oppressive government, being part of rebel groups on the huge island... blasting your way through government gas stations... well, that was the only government buildings i came across in the demo. i was driving a car and jumped out, speeding into the establishment making the roof collapse down. the damage was quite minor, actually.

car driving is realistic. you car-jack a car, speed up... the engines sound authentic. you can drive really fast in the cars and on the motorbikes.

it is fun fighting against the government in just cause 2. try and play the demo if you are interested. just cause 2 makes a good rental, but do not expect to complete everything in the game.

photography is now up in images. enjoy.
