New Army of Two video shows Shanghai looking pretty

Messed up! Man this game is going to be beautiful. I never played the first one, hearing only mixed reactions, but as terrible as this game might or might not be, it's worth the--what do games cost these days, $15?--price to see Shanghai's inevitable future self. If they release this on PC, my only question is, would China allow it? Or does it still hurt too many Chinese people's feelings, the way Fallout 3 hurt a lot (and I mean A LOT, like 6) of people's feelings in the US?

Video Gaming coming to Shanghai China!

Sorry I just lied to you. Shanghai will never see the light of an official video game market, probably ever, because it is sinking like 8cm into the sea every year. Eat your heart out, California!

Buuuut, Army of Two developers EA Montreal have announced the release of a sequel, titled Army of Two: the 40th Day. What that 40th day is, no one knows. I'm guessin it's the end of Noah's Flood and you get to watch all the animals mate, including Adam and Eve (hot!).

But the coolest thing about the game, and why I wasn't just randomly mentioning the destruction of Shanghai two paragraphs ago, is this:

In the sequel to Army of Two, Salem and Rios, the two blokes from the first game, go to Shanghai, China, which is nearly destroyed. They must "fight their way through ravaged city districts as they try to beat the odds and uncover the secret of the 40th Day."

Set in post-apocalyptic Shanghai? AWESOME. I hope they map the city accurately. Eat your heart out GTA IV!
