Just Cause 2 was a sandbox of a game In fact, it might well be the most 'sand box-y' game I've ever played The campaign disappeared for me in favor of just going nuts on the island and causing havoc.
It seems that fascination with destruction and ludicrous situations will continue in Just Cause 3, as[...]

Well, as stunt PR things go, here is one worth a headline.
Square Enix are offering players of Just Cause 3 the chance to win an island Yeah, you're very own real life island (asterix, asterix asterix) To enter you have to pre-order the Day 1 edition of the game and live in the United States[...]
Rico is a weird character, but then again, so is the whole Just Cause universe It all exists in this sweet spot of ludicrous over-the-topness, but also a grounded realness to make things gratifying Rico is a good guy, a bad guy, a saviour and an anarchist, but also, it can be argued he doesn't[...]
Just Cause 3 has already sold me Even the idea of just updating Just Cause 2 for the new genration is exciting, but it seems that Avalanche Studios are really trying to make something special here.
I think you will see what I mean in this new official E3 2015 walkthrough video It shows Scorpio flying[...]
Just Cause is a franchise that is no stranger to destruction In fact, you could probably make a pretty convincing case for it being one of the defining features of the series When I think of the games, I think of either blowing up cranes with huge explosions or tethering a bad guy to an[...]
What about other franchises that have solid mod communities?
One such series is Just Cause There is a whole host of hilarious mods available for Just Cause 2 that are well worth fooling around with Is it possible we'd see mods come to Just Cause 3 on consoles though?
Hopefully, according to Avalanche Studios Speaking to GameSpot, Just[...]
Just Cause 3 is going to be an explosive, destructible trip for sure This looks like Just Cause 2, but bigger and better looking In honesty, is there much else we want?
It was announced during Square Enix's press conference that we'd get our hands on the game December 1st That just about gets it out[...]
It confirms that we will see Just Cause 3, Final Fantasy 14: Heavensward, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dragon Quest Heroes and Life is Strange at the show.
Besides that they have some fun with bleeping out titles, so its clear that we will get even more.
Check out the video here I'll do my best to keep[...]
It's free, so it is hard to complain, I'm just not a fan of that game.
The Xbox 360 fares a bit better this month with the ludicrously fun Just Cause 2 being free in the first half of June and the disappointing, but decent Thief seeing out the rest of the month.
Can't say I think[...]
It sounds somewhat reductive to call the grappling hook in Just Cause 2 'the best thing in the game', but really it's just a testament to how good of a feature it actually was I can still get a significant kick out of playing with the physics in that game and roping objects to other objects[...]
Thus far we've only taken the mass destruction we'll be taking part in Just Cause 3 on blind faith I assumed Avalanche Studios would deliver, but we've only had one (albeit effective) cinematic trailer thus far.
This new trailer is showing us the first glimpse at gameplay certainly confirms the mayhem on display This is some[...]
We haven't yet seen anything on the Just Cause 3 front apart from a slick cinematic Avalanche Studio's trademark series is set to come out this year, which should bring us all the grapple-hooking fun we desire.
The developer has promised we will catch a glimpse of Scorpio's mayhem and destruction soon though In this Tweet from the[...]

Just Cause is a ludicrous IP It has silly explosions, over the top voice acting and egregious physics mechanics It's all we want out of an open world game without the pretension of a developer trying to demand a story down our throats.
It's good to see that Just Cause 3 will continue that tradition I[...]
Just Cause 2 must be one of the single player games with the most playtime to least amount of story complete ratio I know a lot of people who own the game, but very few who have ever made a significant dent in the game's campaign.
That isn't a bad thing though It's just a testament[...]
