Chaos Theory demo is worth the price of the magazine alone.

2 words : Funking awesome!

The rest of the disk matters not.

I've just picked up the mag, glad to see that the Unreal demo is live enabled. Really looking forward to the Splinter Cell one though.

No, it's not.

The magazine is horrible.

It's just so utterly horrible I actually chuck it away - after about 2 hours.

Ok, so OXM isn't great. But let's face it, it's worth getting just to play the demo's. All you have to do is take the reviews with a pinch of salt.

How's the Unreal 2 demo?

Bah!

Can't run the OXM disk on my US console and I'm definitley not importing a magazine. Tis out over there in a couple of weeks so I will hang tight (no pun intended) until then to play the Xbox version.

The PC demo came out yesterday as well but I was too busy with the Champions League last night to download it. Will grab it after I get back from the Newcastle game tonight.

Oh and the Timesplitters demo is pretty cack. It's exactly the same as the alien level from TSP2 really, just with more enemies on screen and a bit of strange coloured blood.

I didn't expect much though from the demo as from what I've seen it's probably the cackest looking level anyway.

I haven't played it, and Resi 4 already wins.

Sorry.

Single player.

It's the whole first level which is the light house level from the videos.

It's godly. I hung upside down and snapped necks, cut through a tent and stabbed someone, threw someone off a cliff, stabbed someone again...and again...and again...and then I jizzed my pants.

It's awesome. The AI is superb, no more *shoots all lights in room* "Must have been my imagination" stupidity. I ran out in front of 2 guards and jumped over a wall, for the next 5 minutes they walked around looking for me talking amongst each other attempting to flank positions and using their flares to illuminate dark areas.

Game of the year? I think we have a definite contender if not winner.
