Mercenaries 2 is going to be out August 31st and this commercial they’ve released pretty much will have you all worked up over the game.

I’ve long been an advocate of this game and I’ll tell you that I still play the original Mercenaries even now. It’s one of those games that just holds up over time and I actually liked it better than Grand Theft Auto games of that time. That was the main comparison, but I liked being on the battlefield capturing bad guys more than running around a city.

I think Mercenaries 2 is going to be amazingly cool and I’ll go on record now as saying that due to the past history, this is a must-own game.

Eidos has come out with the first gameplay trailer for Tomb Raider: Underworld. Of course it shows plenty of Lara Croft action who’s going to hit store shelves on November 18th 2008 for PC, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS. Whew!

This game is going to be amazing and this Thursday (Aug 21) the demo will be on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network. You’ll be able to take some force powers for a test run in one of the early levels in the game. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises incredible graphics and force powers gameplay unlike ever before.
