Anyways, I was looking at Mercenaries 2 coming out for the ps3 and the XBox 360. I never played the first one, but I thought it was pretty neat, kinda GTA meets SOCOM. The graphics on the new one look phenomenal! I also didn't know the Swedish guy was voiced by Peter Stormare. I was gonna say "Peter Stormare of something something fame", but what would be the appropriate thing to put there? Fargo? The Big Lebowski? Armageddon? Prison Break? The V-Dub Commericals? He's effin' famous!
Anyhoo, it looks like they retooled the backstories of the characters. His charater, Mattias, didn't seem that interesting in the first one, though I hear Stormare did an awesome job with his voice work, made him sound all cool and sociopathic. But this time, he has a backstory. So now Mattias is a sociopathic Swedish hillbilly biker who's ex-military and a prison escapee. Sounds cool. But Sweden has hillbillies? I guess that's what the Suns were in RotK, or at least the way Dynasty Warriors portrayed them. Those river people country bumpkins!
