A good one this month.......


Conflict Global Storm
Burnout Revenge
Heroes of the Pacific
Far Cry Instincts
Marvel Nemesis
Evil Dead Regeneration


Havent played them all yet, just Burnout Revenge which to me was not that much different to the last one. Marvel Nemesis which I thought was really good (not being a beat-em up fan), and then Far Cry.......wow they really squezed(?) every last drop out of the old box for this. I carnt wait for this come out now!

Far Cry's good, not quite as amazing as I hoped. The graphics are excellent, but there seems to be something missing from the game, it's just not that exciting at the moment. I'll play it again later though, as when I played it yesterday I was pretty knackered.

Burnout just feels like Burnout 3 really, only with shinier cars and the ability to smash into the back of traffic. Oh and I had a quick smash on Marvel thingy and that really did nothing for me.

I'll play the rest fo the demos later most likely.

I'm really enjoying the Instincts demo now. There's a few dumb things that should be fixed for the full game, but other than that it's a lot of fun.

Best played Stealthily me thinks.

I wonder if they'll do playable demos on the official 360 magazine...

Maybe they'll combine the two... with machines detecting what's what.

Got this yesterday.

I hope they haven't screwed up Burnout, dodging traffic was the only thing in number 3 that required any skill at all.

Far Cry is the funking nuts!

I've got a feeling the demo's on the easiest difficulty though, as the enemies do very little damage when they shoot you. It's still too cool for school though.

Best moments so far have been pushing a log down a hill and killing 3 guys with it, and then there's the ultra cool going under huts, rolling onto your back and shooting people through the floorboards.

Definetly gonna pre-order this in the next few days. Along with Serious Sam 2 which is confirmed as being playable in co-op online.

Need to try out Conflict : Global Terror, as well.

The Far Cry demo was ok, some nice innovation but it led you down a linear path regardless: I was hoping to get more of a feel for the 'go anywhere' play of the main game.

Being restricted to pistol, tree and stealth kills for half the demo was a little dull. I ended up running through one of the larger camps because I was bored so it picked up because I was blasting the guard infront of me after narrowly dodging a speedboat and then the next hut I came to had the assault rifle so I was in a much happier place!

Kept thinking I had to double-back because of the radar too. :S

Looking forward to the extra powers for the Predator approach!




Conflict seems fun again, I think the live mode should be really good fun but a lot of the other stuff seems to have been done before. I've only done it on easy so far though so I'm judging it too early really. I expect the dodging enemies will be more of a pain on the higher difficulties.



I thought they might've mucked up Burnout but it seems to be pretty good, hopefully there are custom soundtracks (despite one review clearly stating otherwise nooooo!) and obviously they have to have a decent scoreboard system odderwouise Oi ain't bovverin' gavnahhhh!



Haven't bothered with the others yet.
