The "core team" of Pandemic that survived the chopping block (from EA), they've been re-located to EALA to work on Mercenaries Inc. (AKA Mercenaries 3) for PC, X360, and PS3. (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/61375)

I have Merc 2 - it's put aside w/ a shitload of other games I ain't gone through yet.
I never played Merc 1 - did you play it? If so, how was that?

I played it a while back (2005) on Xbox. It was pretty good. It was kinda like a tactical GTA.

Oh, it wasn't released on the PC?

No, it was a shame it never made it to PC. Just Xbox and I think PS2. It was a pretty unique title for LucasArts at the time too.

I thought Mercenaries 2 looks awesome, and I couldn't wait for it to come out. then I saw more gameplay and some reviews, as well as getting to try the demo. I'm so glad I didn't jump on that purchase.
