Seeing as XBL traffic is free on my ISP and on slow days my connection can only download about 3Gb an hour, I figured I'd try out the latest demo's and give some feedback :rolleyes:

Dirt 2: Looks awesome, seriously the best graphics I've seen in a game. Plays pretty well as well.

Lost Planet 2: Another gorgeous one. kinda fun when you get used to the controls. If you like the first one then I'd say it's a no brainer. (It's a better Bionic Commando than BC ....)

Section 8: Hmm, graphically nothing special. It plays like tribes meets Halo, which is not necessarily bad, the gameplay is somewhat oldschool but the ambience is totally bland. Like with extra Space Marine Bland sauce.

Batman: Meh. A game so good looking, you suddenly realise how absurd it is to have a 6 foot tall dude in with a cape and 10 cm ears prancing around like a fairy fighting homocidal clowns with boomerangs. Get a gun dude .....

IL2 whatsisname ... uh .... I'll stick to flying in BF 1943.


I haven't DL'ed WET yet but stay tuned ;)

I got WET last night, it's like playing a Tarantino movie.

Wicked fun! The camera is a little bit iffy but you adjust quickly. I just hope the game does not deal all it's cards too soon, or it might get old.

Tried out Wet this evening, hmm....

It could be good, the style is a really cool B movie reel, but two things kill it for me, firstly unbreakable animations. She's supposed to be the chic from Kill Bill but she plods around illogically with infinite ammo and can't draw her sword unless she's pretty much standing still.

Two, the grainy movie reel filter looks really cool. For the 30 seconds before it makes you puke all over the carpet. Nothing's made me that nauseas since Halo 2.
