Quantcast



Xbox Live friggin' rocks. I don't care what anyone else may tell you, the fact that we can download great demos on a regular basis is pretty much clutch. We got Crackdown recently, and now Major Nelson brings word that Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is available for a demo spin.

The cool thing is, it doesn't really stop there. On Friday, the NBA Street Homecourt demo will be on XBL. *bumps knux with Microsoft*

This is one of the key reasons why MS's online service is better then Sony's. Yes we have to pay for the XBLV but fuck if its not worth it. I mean we get regular updates, and demos, videos, and you know since your paying for it, people feel more like they SHOULD put demos and such up there. Keep up the great work

Feels just like GRAW to me. Even the enemies sound the same as the first one to me. I like that remote control thing though. Driving that into enemies, then flanking while the shoot that is fun.

Good demo, but it feels too much like GRAW 1. Also I thought they would use the (better) cover system used in R6:V rather then this one.

It feels like they are trying to pull a Gears with the cover system, and it just doesn't work. It's too slow-paced for that to work with GRAW.

Unless you use it for movies, I can't understand how anyone fills the damn drive. You aren't supposed to keep demos and videos indefinitely. Bah.

A new 360 has nothing to do with a new HDD. And the new chip nothing but make it run a little cooler. You won't even know which one it is on the shelf.

That said, I never played GRAW 1, so I might like this. Hope it turns uot good, for the ones that missed the first turn.

I actually liked the demo. I thought it was an improvement on the already-good GRAW.

It feels like taking a fucking test or exam when playing GRAW. Not my cup of tea. Rainbow6 does a way better job of creating that balance between a thinking mans FPS and fun.

All I know is Tom Clancy should be helping Shig turn that money machine, cuz he's totally raking in the dough for the Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell series!!!! and I love all three.... ugh. Can't wait to get home and try this sucker out!
