I'm surprised actually, seeing as the disc seems pretty damn good this time round.

(off the top of the head)
Unreal Championship 2 - single and LIVE
Chaos Theory
Future Perfect
Constantine
and some others I can't remember

LIVE UC2 is reason enough to check it out, but CT and FP on the same disc??

I just wonder what happened to the promise of a LIVE Chaos Theory demo.

Anyhoo, looks great, just haven't had the time to boot the disc yet.

I made one last week, probably dropped down quite a way now.

Chaos Theory is unspeakably excellent and Unreal Championship is a load of rubbish. Haven't played it on Live but offline it bored me so much that I can't even be bothered to set up Live connection to try it.

Oh and the Timesplitters demo is pretty cack as well.

Worth the price of the disk for Chaos Theory though, can you Xbox game of the year?

Chaos Theory has impressed me a lot. Like Tilt said the UC2 demo is cack and it's just a bore fest. It puzzles me how OXM dare give it 9.2 when 7.2 would have probably been a fair score. I can certainly see Chaos Theory being a massive hit for 2005 especially now that my faith in the single player game has been restored. The inclusion of the knife makes it a lot better and I don't know if it was just me but how amazing do the graphics look for an Xbox game?

The graphics are stunning, haven't got a clue how Ubi have pulled it off with no slowdown but they somehow managed it. The level of detail in your surroundings complete with the lighting effects is simply stunnign.

Single player will be awesome. I always knew it would be good but playing it shows that Ubi really weren't overstating the level of improvement in level design and AI. For once you have to be really aware of the enemy and not slip up.

Pandorra Tomorrow looks like a distant skid mark on a far away bog roll compared to Chaos Theory.

Wow.

Chaos Theory was fantastic. Really looking forward to that now (as if I wasn't already ;) ).

Future Perfect was indeed a bit cack, but the other demo I played at GSL was much, much better. And anyway, I'll be buying this for Live and the Create-a-map feature.

Republic Commando wasn't too bad, decent visuals, just a little too easy.

I didn't try the others, including UC2, as I only had 45 minutes to spare, and most of that was spent on CT...

March is gonna pwn :D
