Sweet Tooth is gonna take you for a ride on January 31 photo

[Editor's Note: Ladies and gents, welcome Chris Carter to the front page and the Destructoid news staff. Regular readers will surely recognize his face and name from our community. As always, that's where our best people come from. Don't hold back on the hazing!]

In case you haven't heard, a multiplayer demo of Twisted Metal is coming to a PlayStation 3 near you. Now, thanks to the PlayStation Blogcast, we know the date: January 31st, 2012. As a fan of the series since the first iteration, I can't wait to see what Jaffe and his team have in store for us. I thought Twisted Metal Black was an incredibly fresh take on the franchise and I see a lot of similarities in the upcoming title -- especially with the game's dark undertones and the return of twisted storyline videos.

I know some of you may not be joining in because of the online pass situation, but to me, the free inclusion of Twisted Metal Black is enough to make up for it. Regardless of the quality of the demo, my wife and I will be blowing stuff up come February 14th. Considering Jaffe has stated that this iteration is mostly a multiplayer game, is anyone else excited at the prospect of mingling with fellow carmageddon caballeros?

Hey, Magnalon is a Dtoid editor now! Alright!

That being said, I love TM and I would love to grab this game once I get a PS3, but I promised myself I would never purchase a single game with an online pass, so I'll be passing on this.

I'll just keep my eye on DiRT Showdown or another game instead, as there are plenty of alternatives.

What?! Magnalon has hacked his way onto the front page?!

Sly boots...

Anyway, no time for demo TM multiplayer when I'll be playing SCV nonstop (releases the 31st).

On topic, yes... I am crazy excited for this game. The inclusion of Black makes it even better.

I'm curious to try. To be honest, what I've seen of the new Twisted Metal looks dated. Here's your chance to impress me Jaffe.

I had no idea Black was included! Hopefully the demo brings back some fond memories.

By the way I too will be buying this. The original Twisted Metal was the reason I bought a PlayStation and after recently buying a PS3 it feels like a homecoming to be able to pick up this latest installment.

And you say it includes Black? I totally missed out that game. Sweet.

Grats Mag! You're one of my favorite posters and I always hoped you'd get the editor bump! Community members who get a shot at working for the site are one of the many reasons I love this place.

Thanks for not being ign, destructoid. Thank you so, so much.

Also, I may jump in on this with you. I just love twisted metal too much.

Also, also, I'm going to keep calling you Mag. Ifs how I roll.

I made a deal with the girlfriend. On the Friday night before Valentines day I'm taking her to a super fancy dinner and on Saturday showering her in gifts and massages, if she joins me in the carmageddon on Valentines day. After she saw three wrapped gifts she agreed. Lets do this!

Who would you rather fuck: Terry O'Quinn as Peter Watts or Terry O'Quinn as John Locke?

(The correct answer is John Locke.)
