Forza (again?)
Area 51 (haven't we had this before as well?)

They've got a huge preview on the next Burnout game, and the next Star Wars Battlefront. And some more. But I can't remember what it all is....

Got the mag earlier, really wish I hadn't bothered.

Pariah demo's good, enjoyed that. It doesn't do anything amazingly new but it's a lot of fun and for £25 you can hardly complain, so I pre-ordered that earlier.

Pirates demo is rubbish simply because it's really short and it's a multiplayer only demo. I still plan on buying the full game even as it's the single player I'm getting it for...oh and Pirates rock!

The rest of the magazine and the disk aren't even worth talking about....so I won't.

Great i dont have the mag but it looks excelent grade demos!

Excellent, cause if its any good I'll order it before I leave for the States. :-)

I haven't had chance to try it out yet, but I will try tonight and let you know!

Not so much, it's OXM.

Oooooooooooo, that new Battlefront news might have me buying the mag today. :-) That and the Pariah demo.

I did think that was a bit strange...

Haven't played Forza yet. I'm a bit worried that it's the same demo they put on a while back - which was so damn realistic (read "hard") that I personally didn't find it enjoyable at all.

Juiced is a lot more arcadey, the upgrade system is deep, but simple enough so that non-petrol heads like me can get into it. The "respect" feature seems to work quite well. Some crews will respect you more for betting on outcomes of races while if you run into someone and cause damage, that crew will lose some respect for you.

It looks like it's going to be quite a big game in single player - can't really tell from the demo as it's only two races. Anyway, I really liked PGR 1, the sequel less so, and I thought NFSU was ok. Juiced however, looks spot on.

Forza gets 9.4 and Pariah gets 8.9 and GOTM?

Gotta love OXM.

What were the good/bad points of Forza? And the same with Juiced if you don't mind mate!
