I spent countless hours playing that game as a kid. If they ever made a third I’d buy it in a heartbeat

Too bad EA took Pandemic out behind the woodshed after the deal where they acquired them and Bioware. Fuck John Riccitiello.

Pandemic made the OG Star Wars: Battlefront(s) as well.

Pandemic was so good. They definitely felt like they had a feel to their games which I really enjoyed. Mercenaries 1 is one of my favorite open world games ever

I loved the Deck of 52 system, just one by one dismantling the North Korean government/military was very fun.

I'm replaying The Saboteur right now. The game has its share of faults, but I'll be damned if walking through the streets of Paris and the French countryside, while strapping Dynamite to Nazi watch towers and tanks isn't relaxing as hell.
