Red Faction: Guerrilla (Xbox 360 Demo)
After the disappointment of the Bionic Commando demo, I downloaded the Red Faction: Guerrilla demo. I had heard good things about this game, so I thought I’d give it a shot. Thankfully, this demo actually let me try the game properly. The first thing that I noticed in this game is that you can destroy EVERYTHING. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! With a sledgehammer, I was desetroying buildings, swin...[Read More]
Bionic Commando (Xbox 360 Demo)
I loved this game as a kid. Bionic Commando was, as they say, “the balls.” That’s a good thing, I assure you. Prince of Persia and Ninja Gaiden showed us that remakes, when done well, can provide an equally impressive experience now as their predecessors did decades ago. With that in mind, I eagerly downloaded the Bionic Commando demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace and gave i...[Read More]
Top Spin 3 (Xbox 360 Demo)
I love tennis games. One of my favorite games on the Sega Dreamcast console was their Virtua Tennis title. It was a completely wonderful game, regardless of genre. Wii Sports Tennis is less serious, as it’s more of an excuse to flail around in a silly manner, and we’ve already mentioned Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii. When I saw that Top Spin 3 was an available demo, I downloaded it...[Read More]
Demo Reviews
Getting tired of seeing demo reviews instead of full game reviews? Well, do something about it! Send us full copies of new games for the Xbox 360, and we’ll review the fuck out of them! In the meantime, however, our broke asses will continue reviewing what we can get our hands on, which, unfortunately, primarily consists of free demos.
Ninja Gaiden II (Xbox 360 Demo)
When I downloaded the Ghostbusters: The Video Game demo for my Xbox 360, I mentioned that it was only one of the few demos I had downloaded. Ninja Gaiden II was another of those demos, and I took some time today to try it out. I’ve been a fan of the Ninja Gaiden series since its days on the original NES, so I was looking forward to this demo very much. As I was browsing the Options menu, l...[Read More]
Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Xbox 360 Demo)
Last night, after playing through the Wolverine: Origins demo again (I WANT THAT GAME), I downloaded a few more demos to try out. The first one I downloaded was the Ghostbusters: The Video Game demo. I had heard very good things about it. I also heard that it was, essentially, the third installment of the movie series. As a huge fan of the movies (at least the first one), I had to give it a sh...[Read More]
Wolverine: Origins (Xbox 360 Demo)
Over the weekend, we downloaded the Wolverine: Origins demo on our Xbox 360. I am generally hesitant of movie adaptations, but Lindsey had seen some gameplay footage, and I had read a great deal about the game, so we felt it would be a fun, free demo. I gave it a shot on Sunday night, and was immediately impressed by the graphics. The introductory FMV does a good job of introducing the characte...[Read More]
Yosumin!
Today I was bored and felt like playing something fun. I remembered some people on Twitter telling me about Steam and how you can download free demos. You guys have probably figured out by now that I love free stuff, so if I could entertain myself and pass the time for free… you bet your sweet ass I was going to. So I went to the Steam website and came across a demo I found interesting. Afte...[Read More]
