God help me but I really liked that Call of Juarez demo. I might have to check out the full game now.

the hell's wrong with you?

although with that said, I found this impossible to play on my SDTV, so it probably wasn't as bad as it seemed

...probably

I don't know what the demo entails, but a word of warning. Only about 1/4 of the game is a shooter. The other 3/4s are incredibly bad and broken stealth segments.

That's too bad. I enjoyed the demo too. Looks like I'll wait until it gets really cheap before I pick it up. I don't watch westerns but for some reason I like western-style games. Loved Outlaws on PC, and I really enjoyed GUN too.

 

[McBacon]

Wtf.. where the hell is The Netherlands.. This is BS.

Just west of Germany, bordered by the North Sea.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Oh my. The reverend in Call of Juarez is a bloody psychopath. He's awesome though, citing quotes from the bible while murdering people and kicking stuff. Halfway decent game.

Surf's Up's up too. New for the European marketplace anyway.

 

[segarr]

Jaurez has the most obvious PC origins of any game I've played on 360. They really didn't get the controls right and the graphics on SDTV weren't optimized at all. It's like 66.7%.

 

[X26]

The NHL 08 demo isn't a shoot-out only demo is it? I hate those

New Timeshift demo is up!

It's a 5 on 5 demo of a single period.

In HD it's really great looking though. The lighting is impressive.

Awesome. I'm curious to see how much has changed since the ancient PC demo from a way back.

These constant demos make it difficult to play all my retail games.:lol

 

[Mojovonio]

OMG TIMESHIFT!

I can't wait to get home and try this.

This game looks phenomenal.

 

[FrankT]

Jeez, I can't keep up lately, haha. Got like 45 demos sitting on my HDD right now and they just keep pouring in. Good stuff.

 

[Truelize]

This is complete LIES. I have played the game through twice and it's only the second level with Billy that entails a lot of stealth in it.

Where do you get your info Flyin? Did you really play the game?

Yeap. There's the billy in the town level, then there's a reverend level, then there's billy sneaking around at night in the woods during a storm, then the reverend, then it's back to billy sneaking around again.

 

[FrankT]

I'm hearing Timeshift looks hot.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

I <3 XBLM.

 

[dirtmonkey37]

Jesus Christ -- too many FPS!

 

[Fallout-NL]

Jesus Christ -- too many FPS!

So many in fact, it's getting hard to actually notice.

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Jesus Christ -- too many FPS!

I'd like to go back in time about 6-7 years ago and show your post to all the people that were saying that FPS on console would have never succeeded :lol

However, wow, XBL is on fire today! I'm growing a demo backlog too...

 

[Truelize]

Yeap. There's the billy in the town level, then there's a reverend level, then there's billy sneaking around at night in the woods during a storm, then the reverend, then it's back to billy sneaking around again.

Well there's the level when he creeps around in the dark. Then the one where you steal the horse and then the level when you sneak into the farm (not spoilers don't worry peoples). But the Reverend didn't have any sneaking missions.
But I understand what you mean. But it's really only 3 levels out of 15 that have heavy "stealth" elements.

Great rental. Period. Great western atmosphere. No one has made a perfect western game yet but this does a pretty good job.

 

[Fun Factor]

so any more Timeshift impressions?

It actually does.

And of course, it doesn't support letterbox / SD (Dead Rising style). Maybe it's time to buy an HDTV.

I'm still waiting for a 2K8 demo though.

This barrage of demos we've been getting lately on XBLM is quite nice.

Better than the "original". FlatOut 2 almost looks empty at times as well when compared to Ultimate Carnage.
