Just Cause 2 didn't ship with a multiplayer mode at launch. But that didn't stop six members of the community making one.
Six members of the game’s dedicated community could. Skilled modders “jaxm” and “Trix”, had just abandoned supporting their work adding multiplayer modes to Grand Theft Autos Vice City and San Andreas (dubbed Multi Theft Auto) when they spotted the Just Cause 2 demo. It became the perfect modern piece of software for the duo to sink their creative teeth into.
“In early March 2010, I came across Just Cause 2 and was blown away immediately. The sheer scale of the game, even from the demo, was incredible. The graphics were fantastic and the performance of the game made...

The adapter connects to the Wii U's two front-facing USB ports, and offers four GameCube controller ports, which presumably also support the wireless WaveBird pads.
News of the adapter broke in a promo video for the Smash Bros. Invitational, but was later confirmed by Nintendo's American and European Twitter accounts.
"It's official: The #WiiU version of #SmashBros. will be playable with GameCube controllers!" Tweeted Nintendo Europe.
No release date has been announced, but the adapter will be present in the tournament which is just weeks away.
The video features the Unreal Tournament team taking part in a super basic game, where there are no textures, little geometry and only the Shock Rifle.
Obviously there's still some time to go before we see a version of UT which begins to resemble a finished game, but you can help make this a reality sooner by signing up to help out – the whole game is developed with the aid of the community.
During the video community manager Stacey Conley said: "We're rolling here, so we'll be getting the game out to everybody soon".
"Why would I give myself a week to produce a 17 minute medley with 38 songs and also incorporate techniques like green screening I've never even practised for video before? Because if there's anything I've tried to do in these past 4 years of being on YouTube and not just with video game covers, it's push myself to my absolute potential," he wrote in the video description.
"What you're watching is literally the best I can do given a week to put a video together and I'm not sure I can ever top this in that amount of time."
Zelnick was in agreement with a suggestion that the franchise is yet to reach its commercial potential.
"We haven't given any colour on how you should think about it yet except we do believe it's beloved; we think it's important [and] certainly something that we're focused on; something 2K Marin will be responsible for shepherding going forward.
"I don't want to say much else except to agree with you. I think there's a lot of upside in that franchise," Zelnick said. "It hasn't necessarily been realized yet."
Stands alongside the likes of GTA, Borderlands and NBA, says CEO Strauss Zelnick.
Red Dead Redemption has sold 13 million copies worldwide and cemented the franchise as a mainstay for the publisher.
Speaking about the balance of launching new franchises and turning to trusted sellers for the firm, Zelnick said: ""I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent. It's obvious that GTA is a permanent franchise as long as we keep delivering this incredible quality; it seems quite obvious that Red Dead is a permanent franchise, again with the same caveat, or Borderlands, for example, and NBA and others."

How to whizz through three laps of Sweet Sweet Canyon in two minutes.
When jumping over the blue hill after the water, try and be on the right hand side to make the drift that follows easier to make. This also gives you a much greater chance of grabbing more than two coins on the turn.
Boosting through the doughnut at the end of the lap is the trickiest part. Get as close to the chocolate before using the boost, staying away from the Petey Piranha to the left. As soon as you use the mushroom, start drifting, as you'll naturally run wide and need to turn as much as possible to avoid hitting the wall. Hit the jump and boost across the start finish...
How to make the most of one of the most drift-heavy tracks in Mario Kart 8.
It's possible to drift into turn five and still make the shortcut onto the boost ramp, as the video below shows, just make sure you straighten the kart early in order to make the most of it, and use a mushroom onto the grass.
When gliding over the water, stick to the left, as you'll avoid the Toads in hot air balloons and also have the inside line on the first turn when you land.
There's plenty of coins on this track so don't worry if you miss a couple along the way, you'll most certainly collect 10 within a lap.
