A Dungeon Siege III demo hit Xbox Live this week and I’ve been enjoying it.  The camera angles get a little annoying at spots but otherwise it is pretty fun. Only 2 of the 4 classes from the full game are available in the demo, but those two are both pretty fun.  The one big […]

I enjoyed the previous Lego Star Wars games as well as Lego Batman and Indian Jones so I figured the new Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars demo should be pretty fun. Either I’ve gotten dumber or the puzzles are less obvious this time around.  More than once I had to walk around looking […]

It is not very often that I play four different demos in the same day, but that is how Tuesday panned out.  On the PC, Magicka released and I’ve been looking forward to it for quite a while now. I promised myself after all the holiday Steam sales I would not by any new games […]

I generally don’t play many flying games but the idea of a co-op helicopter game seems like it could be fun. One person flying and another manning the guns.  So, with that idea in mind I downloaded the demo for Apache: Air Assault on Xbox Live.  I did not even finish the demo before quitting […]

A demo for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit hit Xbox Live today so I took a little time away from Fallout New Vegas to check it out. I played a couple head to head races at E3 this past summer and enjoyed the game mode they had there.  In this demo there are a couple […]

Lets face it, even without the demo I was going to play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. I enjoyed the first one and after seeing this same demo played by a Lucas Arts rep at E3 I knew this one would be fun too. The demo is the first level of the game which […]

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West was not really on my radar before this week. I had seen the trailers and while they looked good graphically it seemed like a third person platformer which I’m not a fan of.  Things would probably have stayed that way if not for a large number of my friends talking […]

When the demo for Vanquish hit Xbox Live Marketplace this week I was looking forward to playing through it.  I got to try Vanquish for a few minutes at E3 and it was really fun.  This demo is pretty much the same as what I got to try at E3.  However, it was nice to […]

About a year ago I played the first Tom Clancy’s HAWX and enjoyed it for the most part. A demo for the sequel,  Tom Clancy’s HAWX 2, came out and I finally got around to trying it today. They clearly wanted to use the demo to show off some of the new elements of the […]

I got to play the Crackdown 2 demo at E3 2010 for a little bit and now the same demo is available on Xbox Live Marketplace. If you played the first Crackdown then you have a pretty good idea of what Crackdown 2 is like.  It is a lot of the same gameplay but with […]
