but that doesn't mean anyone in their right mind would turn down free gas. EA games hears your plea, they care, they really do. That's why they are putting on an event called "Petrol for the People". Petrol for the People is a a promotional event for the game Mercenaries 2. Starting at 6am tomorrow morning at the Mobil station on 8489 Beverly Blvd and until the tanks are empty you can get free gas. The attendants will even be dressed as Mercenaries. Gasoline plays a key role in the Mercenaries game. If you don't live in LA you can watch the festivities live on break.com.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is being developed by Pandemic Studios and will be published by EA games. The game launches on August 31 here in the US but if you reside in Europe you'll need to wait until September 5th. It's a non-linear, sandbox style, third person shooter set in Venezuela. The game takes place 2 years in the future.

Mercenaries 2 will be available for Windows, PS2, PS3 and the Xbox 360.
