Is the Smackdown 08 demo up yet? I haven't seen anything other than a press release saying it's out.

I haven't gotten a chance to check yet, but you can get the demo from eb games. Taker, Rey, Orton, & Lashley are playable.

I know. I pre-ordered before that demo disc crap came up. I don't feel like going to the store explaining the whole demo disc to people who still think the COD4 Beta is still going on.

Just finished the Smackdown vs Raw 2008 demo. Pretty much more of the same but prettier, BUT --

OH MY GOD. This game has the WORST COMMENTARY IN HISTORY. I'm not referring to the repetitiveness of it (it's a trademark of the SVR series), but rather the fact that JBL (I assume it's JBL) sounds like he is on horse tranquilizers the entire time. It is Guy Kazama/Last Alert levels of badness. IT LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE HE IS FALLING ASLEEP.

"These superstarrrrss put everrrrything on the lineeeeeeeeee." (snoring)

I'm blown away!
 
PES demo is up. pretty much what you'd expect. I can't get used to the 360 controller for the game though, I'll have to get the PS3 version

Ugh, I'm tempted to buy a 360 Guitar just to play this demo.

GH3 comes out in 2 days (100) and the 360 controller for gh2 still costs like 60. Might just be better to spend the money on gh3 unless you can buy it used or off someone cheap.

Yea that's what I figured. Wait is a bit longer for us Euros though.

Anyone know how to fix a broken GH guitar? I was playing that damn GH3 demo for like 5 minutes and now I can't strum downwards because now one click of the strum bar registers as two. Needless to say, this leaves me failing constantly. I'm gonna try calling Activision but I have a feeling they'll just tell me to deal with it. Fuck Red Octane and their shitty build quality. :(

anyone tried out the America's Army TS demo yet?

downloading now, I expect it to be pretty bad.

Tried out the Campaign mode. It's a low budget GRAW, with some of the worst enemy AI I've seen.

anyone know if that is coming out as a demo for download soon?

It's awful. Which is disappointing since the first AA game was actually quite decent. Bad graphics, clumsy control, glitchiness galore.
 
It's pretty dumb that you have to wait for an enemy to die in AA. You can shoot them all you want but there's a lengthy wait until they go.

The map Pipeline in America's Army for the PC is one of the best multiplayer maps I've ever played. Seriously. It fits the game so well, and there's so many different routes of engagement for such a simple map. I spent an entire summer playing that map on Special Forces mode, which meant it was in the dark. Was awesomeness.
 
Just a warning. Two Worlds is one of the few games out there that I'd give a ZERO to. Granted I haven't played the PC version and they might have fixed everything that's wrong with the game(which is...well...everything) but I've played through the 360 version and it's one of the worst games ever.

PC AA is one of the best multiplayer games ever made IMO. The maps in that game are awesome. Bridge, Pipeline, Insurgent Camp, etc.
 
Looks like we're getting a surprise Orange Box demo tomorrow:

360 owners are in for a very special Thanksgiving indeed. As if the Halo theme hitting Guitar Hero III for free wasn't enough to be thankful for, Valve – purveyors of fine gaming software – have just announced that the "first demo for The Orange Box," dedicated to Half-Life 2: Episode Two, will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace starting tomorrow. Yeah, we were drawn to that particular language as well, since it infers there could be a second and, Gordon help us, even a third sample platter of zesty Orange Box goodness. Regardless, you shouldn't need holiday deal lists to tell you that Orange Box is a steal but, in the off chance you need more coaxing, this demo oughta do nicely.

http://www.*******.com/2007/11/21/first-orange-box-demo-hits-360-tomorrow-episode-two-dedicated/


Haven't had the chance to play any of the Orange Box yet, so this should be a nice sample.
 
No comments on the new Area 51 demo? I guess I shouldn't be surprised since it is god awful. It's hard to tell allies from enemies, enemies spawn right in front of you, hard to tell if you're hitting anything, the weapons are weak, the helicopter section is dull, the graphics are pretty meh, the game couldn't be more shallow, etc. Midway should have cut their losses and scrapped this puppy to save on pressing costs. Releasing it after COD4 makes Sony's handling of the PS3 look like a work of genius.
 
Two Worlds
...the hell? Then I laughed at the stupid voice acting and orc grunts and quit to dashboard.

ATX VS MV GLKH TNR
Motocross is decently entertaining. Dunebuggies or whatever they're called suck enormous amounts though. The little minigame you get while the game is loading is genius, all games should have something like this. Oddly enough it's more fun to mess around in this loading arena than to play the actual game. There better be Motocross Madness-like open environments in the full game or else it sucks.

Blacksite
Decent, but a bit gemehric. Kind of feels like a mix between Rainbow Six and Resistance, only your squad is a bit useless. And I hate the blue-green tint. The morale system seems kind of dumb too. If you're bad at the game your squad will perform worse. And apparently bad means not run n gunning through the level. You should be able to play the game at your own pace without being punished for it.

The chopper mission is your usual "OMGTEHGAMENEEDSVARIETYWHATDOWEDO?!?!" nonsense. It's not particularly good or bad, it's just there.

Anyway, it's definitely tons better than Soldier of Fortune, that's for sure. Stupid IGN. And if we find a bike shop we should all take a bike and split up.
 
Is the Orange Box demo not downloading for anyone else? I keep getting an error message. Just tried to download something else and it worked, so it's definitely not my connection. :/

Working now. I'm wondering what part of the game this is from though. Despite owning the game I'm still grabbing the demo.
