Daddy, where do cheap bananas come from? Well shucks, Billy! Dont you remember the days after World War II, when the CIA liked to sneak into Latin American countries, assassinate elected leaders and install hand-picked puppet tyrants so corporations like the United Fruit Company could move in and rape the land and people? You can be part of that rich history in Just Cause, where youll play Rico Rodriguez, a CIA agent sent to initiate regime change in a paradise island overrun with power-hungry ...
Just Cause - hands-on
Jump across the country, my friend. Welcome to your new life as a CIA stuntman
Sep 7, 2006
Your mullet is muy thick, senor. And it streams gloriously in the wind as you throw yourself out the plane and plummet toward an island hundreds of miles below, where whores live in volcanoes, and roaming militias of bloodthirsty madmen slaughter each other for land and power. The ground approaches rapidly, and you can see a highway winding through the wilderness, so you pull the cord and the parachute flares out. You float down into oncoming traffic, land on the roof of a car, then leap ...   » Read Full Just Cause preview

One game that has grabbed our attention firmly by the cojones is Just Cause from Swedish developer, Avalanche Studios. Not only does it look absolutely gorgeous but, by dropping the player into a huge, tropical hotbed of anarchic action, it promises an overload of riotous fun when it's released this fall. After being mighty impressed during our latest hands-on with the game, we tracked down Avalanche's content director, Odd Ahlgren, and liberated some answers from him about Just Cause, big ...   » Read Full Just Cause preview

And it's not just the eye-meltingly gorgeous graphics or the indulgently expansive play area that has us quivering at the knees - when you play Just Cause it's like a mushroom cloud-laying fun bomb going off in your face. If you're unfamiliar with the set-up, here's a quick rundown: you play CIA agent Rico ...   » Read Full Just Cause preview

Friday 30 June 2006 Just Cause is shaping up to be something beyond incredible. When we saw it at this year's E3 we were mighty impressed and now, after savouring another hands-on with the game, we're practically vomiting with excitement. And it's not just the eye-meltingly gorgeous graphics or the indulgently expansive play area that has us quivering at the knees, but more the fact that when you play Just Cause it's like a mushroom cloud-laying fun bomb going off in your face.

Pre-E3 06: Just Cause
Multi: Use everything in sight to raise a government-sanctioned ruckus
May 8, 2006
We'll just get the obvious out of the way - Just Cause is essentially a prettier, slightly more featured version of Grand Theft Auto, sipping an umbrella drink. You've got the massive, open-ended environments, 180 land, sea and air vehicles to play with and countless thugs who all want you dead. So what's the hook? You've got the unofficial backing of the United States and a big ol' tropical playground to blow apart. And ironically enough, it's literally a hook that makes the game move. If you ...   » Read Full Just Cause preview
