About Me
OMG GAMES.

I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.

The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.

Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07

Haze? You ain't got no alibi.

Oh Haze, here I was downloading you, all 1.5 gigs of you. I was expecting great things. What did I get? Ass, and not the good kind.

Not wanting to totally rip on it, it has a few nice points. The demo can support up to 4 co-op players over the PSN, providing your friends list for invites. It is also instant loading, the first PS3 game I have played which does this and it's very cool. The story is apparently very good too. From memory, eventually I get to kill all the jerks I'm currently fighting along side.

Control wise it's solid, no big problems (appart from not being able to adjust the sensitivity in the demo). Using nectar is fun, going insane after taking too much is more fun.

Now, the problem comes with the fact it is fugly. No getting around it. That game is easily surpassed by Halo. Putting it next to a game like CoD4 and it looks even worse. The demo is also about 10 to 15 minuets long. A1.5 gig install for 10 mins? Good job.

Still, download it, play it, and then forget about it. It's probably worth the time spent downloading to hear the one funny line of dialogue. It contains the word penis.

Wait...so the only downside is cause it isn't super pretty? Short demo is still demo so I am not upset about that.

Goddammit, wardrox, you just hate on everything. You’re like a British Kyousuke Nanbu.

@BlindsideDork

Do you have an HDTV? If you do, you can make a European account and I believe you can still play the demo, despite the resolution differences between the regions.

Would someone like to quote the "penis" line, for us non-PS3-owners? Pretty please?

@BlindsideDork: I totally agree with you; if they gameplay is great, what difference do the graphics make? (unless it's n64 quality) Sure, it's short, but isn't this the first level? I mean, how long was the demo for Bioshock without those lengthy cutscenes?

If the line is "boys have a penis and girls have a vagina," you've been playing the Kindergarten Cop demo by mistake. It's similar.

I can hear the word penis anytime, from your mother.

It comes packaged with DO WANT.

Well, the graphics were a let down, and are ugly. Everything else is just average.

I just got done playing it and it really reminds me of Far Cry... i mean, it plays fast and the gameplay isn't horrible, but they took a few steps back with the visuals. The poly count of the characters isn't bad, but it looks like they made the game and then put a blurring crap filter on it all. The sound and gameplay could save the title. I had judging a game on visuals but for this kind of genre you really cant have a crap looking game. It looks like it was developed in 2005 or something, i dunno... im sad because i wanted the ps3 to have another honerable exclusive but im afraid to say that nobody is really missing out.

I was gonna download this saw it was as big as the club demo, which was a study in mediocrity too.
