I got a chance to check out the Bionic Commando multiplayer demo yesterday and I found it really disappointing. First, there is no tutorial of any kind which is really needed. The bionic arm controls are very unique to Bionic Command and even after playing for 30 minutes I still was not sure how to […]

I played the Guitar Hero: Metallica demo this weekend and I was not overly impressed. If it pretty much like Guitar Hero: World Tour, which I was not really fond of, but with a Metallica skin on it. It plays pretty much like World Tour in terms of most chart structure. The one thing I […]

I decided to check out the Wanted: Weapons of Fate demo today even though I really did not like the movie. The idea of being able to curve the bullets I shoot was just too much for me to pass up. I played through the tutorials and the actual playable level in about 10 minutes. […]

I should start by saying I’m not very good at flying games. I played Crimson Skies on the Xbox and enjoyed it, but games like Ace Combat 6 just are not my thing. However, Ubisoft has been saying since the announcement of HAWX that the controls will be setup so that both beginners and veteran […]

I decided to take an early lunch today and check out the Halo Wars demo. The demo has three parts. First there are the tutorials, there are two campaign levels, and then you can play 1v1 skirmish against the AI. I’m a long time Real Time Strategy (RTS) fan, but I tend to play more […]

I spent most of yesterday playing the Lord of the Rings: Conquest demo on Xbox Live. There are only 2 maps and one game mode in this multiplayer demo, but it is really fun. The characters were well balanced and I did not notice any lag even in 16 player rooms. I’ve got a longer […]

I started writing up a quick L4D Demo impression last night and it ended up being quite length so I made it a full review. You can read it here if you’re interested.

I finally got around to trying the EndWar Demo I downloaded a few weeks back. I was in the EndWar Beta previously, but I was never able to actually do anything in it because I was so busy. I was a little concerned about using voice commands to control the game, bit it actually worked […]

I played the Mirror’s Edge demo on the 360 a few times over the last couple days. I’m not even going to try and explain it to you all in detail. Instead just check out this video: That should give you a little idea of how the game looks. Frankly, I’m quickly growing to love […]

I came across World of Goo this last week when it released on WiiWare. Since the Wii does not give demos of their games I downloaded the demo on my PC to check it out. World of Goo is part puzzle game and part action/arcade game. It has a play style that reminds me a […]
