The demo's are
Rainbow Six 3 - The mutts, only played it a couple of times but it rocks. Online this game will be soooooo sweet.
Dino Crisis 3 - Haven't played, probably won't bother
Voodoo Vince - Another cack handed platform game
Freedom Fighters - Goodish shooty squad game
Tiger Woods 2004 - Golfing excellence
Finding Nemo - No idea
NFL Fever 2004 - No idea
Rolling - Okay Tony Hawks style game, but what's the point? there's so many of these stupid carbon copies around.
Oh and there's the Kola Cell level for Splinter Cell and a view video's and stuff.
It's worth the price alone for the Rainbow Six 3 demo, it rocks. It's the Alcatraz level, mucho like scene from 'The Rock'.
Love Splinter Cell, wanted that mission but can't get it fron Live.
So mag owners, how does this work?
You probably download it off the disc, much like us 'LIVEers' downloaded it off the server.
If it's just running from coverdisk (need that disk in to play it, seperately from Splinter Cell) then I don't think I'll bother.
I'll have a looksee at lunchtime.
Cheers
The Rainbow Six 3 demo is superb, I have a feeling this might become my favourite Xbox game when I get my hands on the full version.

Might be worth a look - not that I like Splinter Cell that much. Hopefully they do a similar thing with KOTOR when downloadable content becomes available. I can see them holding off to get more Live subscribers though.
Downloadable content is pretty much guranteed, there'll definetly be some levels to get at some point. Hopefully some new guns as well...though the amount of guns available in the demo says to me that we're gonna be spoilt for choice.
Looks fantastic, plays excellently, yet it's a prime example of how EA monopolize and destroy.
Like the FIFA games, any kind of depth and subtlety has been strangled out of it and what is left is nothing but a shallow experience designed to impress the masses.
All this game demands is that the player can flick his wrist. The blatant arcade gameplay degrades it into the realms of pointlessness.
On the surface it's glossy. Below the surface lies a rotting corpse.
A golf game devoid of depth or strategy = a waste of time.
flash bang + shoot everyone
or
grenade + shoot everyone and there're some others
its so good! :-)
have you participated in this action on the demo "Tilta"?
