Monolith, Sierra et Vivendi Universal Games publient le communiqué de presse officiel de Contract J.A.C.K. (Just Another Contract Killer), l’add-on standalone pour No One Lives Forever 2. On y incarnera John Jack, un tueur du H.A.R.M. Un méchant, quoi.
Gamespy a pu y jouer un peu, et nous livre très brièvement ses impressions (en gros, du NOLF2 de l’autre côté de la barrière, en plus court et pour moins cher).
En sus, Sierra & co en profitent pour fournir les 15 premières images officielles du jeu (en fait pour une grande partie les mêmes que celles disponibles sur Gamer’s Hell et Factornews hier). [–SUITE–]Le communiqué de presse :
