We understand that, during the game flood this March, you might be forced to choose your battles (financially speaking) carefully, possibly to the detriment of a game like Just Cause 2. And while we respect your decision, we'd like to inform you politely that:

A.) The game's (mostly) a lot of fun! Didn't you read our review?
B.) We've got a couple of copies for the Xbox 360 that you're welcome to try and win by entering our week-long contest.

All you've gotta do is let us know below which of the many, many Just Cause 2 trailers was your favorite in the comments below. Next Wednesday we'll pull two of you at random and forward a copy for the Xbox 360! Does March seem a bit less stressful now? Good! Oh, and keep an eye out for us at PAX East -- we've got a couple of JC2 messenger bags full of swag to hand out.

• Leave a comment telling us which of the many, many Just Cause 2 trailers was your favorite.
• You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec).

Tecmo was all set to release Monster Rancher DS alongside Again. The game was finished, and both games had March release dates. Now, Monster Rancher -- a longtime Tecmo series -- is being published by UFO Interactive, and moving to a summer release. The box shows both the UFO and Koei Tecmo logos.

This is the result of the same "strategic partnership" with Tecmo Koei through which UFO is publishing Monster Racers, a game that Koei had on display at E3 2009. We thought that had already been released -- but UFO has it scheduled for this summer as well.
