Nice surprise from Kojima and IGN: a demo for the new Metal Gear Solid game for PSP. Download here. You “technically” need firmware 6.0 to run it, although there are some reports that it works on modified 5.50 gen-B firmware with a version.txt fix.
Tyler Miller has the definitive, exhaustive, comprehensive, all-encompassing, encyclopaedic, final word on the Section 8 demo. You should trust this man. He has your best interests at heart. (Twitter has taken all the fun out of these little posts, hasn’t it?)
I finally got a chance to play the Resident Evil 5 demo, which has been out a week on X360 for Live Gold members (i.e. not me). I tried out both the 360 and PS3 versions last night. I noticed no significant difference between the two. All impressions below are from the single player levels. [...]
Sweet but very short. Maybe the shortest demo since Heavenly Sword. You get literally half a level, 2 challenge stages (which I haven’t tried yet), and a tutorial. It’s just an appetizer, at best. Capcom could have given us a little more to fiddle with, without screwing with their sales figures, I reckon. I guess [...]
I took Haze out for a brief drive last night. I’ve been quite curious to see how this one would turn out. Specifically, if it would differentiate itself in the vast sea of first-person shooters. The answer: inconclusive. I know, that’s a cop-out, but the demo only gives you the Mantel Corp troopers to try [...]
Echochrome is cool. English demo is out now. Brain explodes, leaks out. Call of Duty 4. Map packs way late on Triple. Not much more to say. Ok, Army of Two. Slam a Dew and run foot-race. Montréal made this? Burnout Paradise. Massive fucking patch kills bugs. Next up, bikes at night. Iron Man is [...]
ShackNews says that Free Radical’s new shooter Haze will have a demo released to the PlayStation Network on May 23. I was gratified to see that said demo will contain both a single-player section as well as a 4-player co-op mode. That particular mode has been unique to Halo 3 thus far in the console [...]
I’ve had my eye on this one for a while now. There’s a strange bumper crop of RTS games on the 360 this year, but this one stood out for it’s unique setup and radically asymmetrical balancing. Also, Petroglyph did those Empire at War Star Wars RTS games, which I understood to be not-sucky. I [...]
The Patapon demo materializes this afternoon on the PSN Store (PC and PS3). Nothing more needs to be said. The game looks really promising. There’s a goofy, overly saccharine corporate-themed faux romantic announcement over at the SCE blog. After you heave yourself, spent and drooling, off of your loved one this evening, you can enjoy [...]
(I’m going to be trying these big compilation posts for awhile, see if it works better. If you’d rather I did the old format, by all means, hurl fruit in the comments section, kthx.) Ah, but these minor delays do tend to pile up, don’t they. I looked upon that little calendar on the right [...]
