Rainbow Six : Lockdown - Only playable online, but suprisingly really good. A hell of a step up from Rainbow Six 3, the new RPG like mode looks to have a ton more depth than any of the previous online Rainbow games I've played. Me think team tactics and working together will be a must with all the new classes and ways of interacting with the levels.

Incredible Hulk : Ultimate Destruction - Amazing fun! I fear it might be quite short lived, but damn the demo's addictive. Definetly one I'll be picking up when it comes down in price.

Fahrenheit - This is an interesting one. Not sure if I actually like it, it's intriguing I must admit, probably one I'll pick up at bargain price eventually as I doubt it'll sell well.

Brian Lara Cricket - A cricket game? muuuuuuuur

Scooby Doo - Yeah, completly rubbish.

Other than that there's not much else to speak of on the disk. The videos of that Dead Rising game on 360 look freaking awesome, but nothing else worth noting.

Next months demos are....

Far Cry Instincts
Conflict : Global Terror
Evil Dead Regeneration
Burnout : Revenge
Heroes of the pacific (Xbox Live enabled)
Mavel Nemesis : Rise of the imperfects

I'll be getting the disk solely for Far Cry.

Xbox online games always start of well with team work and such but then you realise your team are a bunch of mongs.

New Burnout demo and stuff?

WTF?

OXM demo discs hardly ever stick to what they say.

Fahrenheit. I remember reading about that ages ago. Some kind of investigation/adventure isn't it?

Yeah, it's a strange one.

From the looks of the videos and the small part of the game in the demo, it's a sort of hybrid of the old skool adventure games.

It's hard to work out exactly what the story's about from the demo, it's certainly not a run of the mill detective thing though. Definetly a game I'd like to give a go when it comes out, I'm sure it'll sell terribly though.

They hardly ever stick to the reviews they list, but you can always guarantee the demos will be all present and correct.

Oh and all the demos I listed are playable.

So is Lockdown looking like one to buy? I just didn't think it looked that good from the vid's I've seen..how are the graphics compared to Black Arrow? I found that game so sluggish sometimes. any control improvements?

I have an interactive demo of Fahrenheit. It's really quite interesting, plays like a movie but you call all the shots, and every decision you make changes how the game develops. I'll certainly be getting this one when it's released.
