After hearing seen everyone raving about Torchlight for the last week I decided to give the demo a try when I saw how low the system requirements are.  My home PC is about 3 years old, but it has no trouble running the game with everything set to high. Yet, despite the low system requirements […]

I took a little time away from ODST yesterday to check out the Forza 3 and Brutal Legends demos that went up Xbox Live Marketplace.   I’m not really a fan of simulation racing games because I suck at them, but I decided to check out Forza 3 anyway because the trailers look amazing.  About 10 […]

I knew going into it that Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes was made for a younger audience, but I’m a sucker for Star Wars games. I downloaded the demo on my Xbox 360 for Republic Heroes earlier today and just finished playing through it.  The demo actually has two separate missions with a […]

If you’ve been reading my blog for more than a couple weeks you probably know that I love tower defense games.  With Defense Grid: The Awakening released on Xbox Live Arcade next week I was reading up on it on Hidden Path’s website when I found that they have a PC demo available. It is […]

A demo for Wet hit Xbox Live Marketplace yesterday. It has not really been on my radar but I saw people describing it as part John Woo and part Quentin Tarantino. That got my attention pretty quickly. After playing through it multiple times I agree that Wet really does feel like you’re in a Tarantino […]

I’ve been interested in Section 8 since I first saw this trailer during E3. The game play looks a little like Tribes 2 which I loved in college, but with updated graphics. I played 6 or 7 games this afternoon and had a good time with it.  The demo is multiplayer focused and they give […]

I took an early lunch to play the Lost Plant 2 demo that released today on the Xbox 360.The demo supports both playing solo as well as four player co-op over Xbox Live. You can setup the co-op room with 0 to 3 private slots for your friends and then fill in the remainder of […]

I played the demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum over the weekend (twice) and really loved it.It has a great mix of fighting, stealth and puzzles all wrapped in a dark, gritty Batman story. The fighting is simple but there are some combos, blocking, and take-downs. Batman feels like you’d expect, super strong, but not invincible. […]

I got a chance to try out the Madden NFL 10 demo today. I like how they have slowed the game down and made it a little more playable. I’m interested to see how it plays having 2 people on the same team playing 2 on the other. I plan to have some frines over […]

A demo for Overlord II went up on Xbox Live this morning. It has been almost 2 years since Overlord released and it still ranks up there as one of the funniest games I’ve played. The demo seems to be the first level of the game. Because of this you are not very strong yet […]
