A little background: My son in law got me involved in modern shooters like Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2. When I read last fall about this new game, the La Polaka article also reminded its readers that then governor of Chihuahua Jose Reyes Baeza Terrazas, a real Mexican aristocrat, declared Ubisoft game Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 illegal in Chihuahua in 2007, I knew I had to have that game. On to TFA:

Despite the opposition of the Chihuahua, this week will be released a game that virtually recreates the clashes between gunmen and U.S. agents in Juarez, including police in Los Angeles, California.

The French company Ubisoft announced that The Call of Juarez, The Cartel, in the version for the PlayStation 3, will be released on Friday, July 22nd.
