Argh. I haven't even had a chance to try the demo. At this rate it'll be February before I find the time...

Yeah, and that's a little ridiculous. I'm sure I'll get a chance to try the game out at a friends at some point.

I played the demo non-stop since it came out.
The game is harder with 3 teammates, but amazing fun.
When playing alone your AI buddies are almost TOO good.

Still, cannot wait for this one!

Oh you guys can download the 360 instruction manual here:

What? What the heck is the point of a PC demo if you can't try it after the release of the game?

If you didn't try it before you have to buy it outright?

Here's hoping they do a free weekend every few months, like they do for TF2.

Yeah, we're not gonna be "past the worst of it" until, at the earliest, February... 2014.

Anyway, I'm too busy to get much of anything this week. I've got a preorder in on Luminous Arc 2, and I'm looking forward to it, but I realistically won't even get to it until after Christmas. Too many good games.

You put NFS Undercover twice on the PC game list.

Hopefully it's going to be good, but not so much that I'd buy it twice!

That's nothing. This is the THIRD week they've listed Rock Revolution as a release on the XBox 360.

This week, plus here:

plus here:

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/13/new-games-this-week-dead-space-edition/

Forget it, Joystiq. Rock Revolution sold fewer than 3,000 copies:

Repeated promos are not going to boost your favorite rhythm gaming franchise, or improve your chances with your disgraced pretend girlfriend Lauren Faccidomo:

A solid week for all, then. A lot of stealth titles, too. I figured You're in the Movies was still a ways off, and i had assumed Castlevania Judgment had been delayed to December

Khan,

Just to let you know that I went against my better judgement and bought animal crossing city folk over left 4 dead, last remnant & tomb raider. Traded in some older 360 games and thought what the hell I'll try it out. Never played animal crossing before but I wanted to balance out all the recent killing and violence with something casual and light hearted. Also got an additional 20% trade because it was a power trade game. Didn't get the wii speak bundle though as I have no need to chat on the wii. Essentially traded 6 games for one - such a ripoff!

I'll let you know if it's good or not. Even if I don't like it I can give it to the kids for Christmas. Thrifty.

Plus I want to get some use out of my Wii. I have enough violent games to last until this time next year. Anyway. Good to have a change of pace sometimes.

I found Left 4 Dead to be pretty playable with a "red" ping. There was around a .5 second delay to every shot, but it wasn't *that* bad. Certainly not as bad as playing a typical first-person shooter as you're fighting AI, not other humans. (Except if you're playing Versus or being a douchebag).

Yeah, but sometimes it's so slow I can't even load up the Google homepage.

On most goods days, simply browsing the internet is nigh on impossible, as it takes a good 5 minutes to load up each webpage, and half the time it doesn't even load the entire page, it just gives up half way through.

That's how crappy my internet is. Forget red ping, you need a whole new colour to describe just how slow my internet can be.

Ugh. Not again! I genuinely thought I was going to finish Fallout this weekend to prep for L4D, but got detoured by The Colour and the Shape, Horde Mode, as well as an unexpected visit to The Republic of Dave.

I'll get it when I get it, I suppose...

I'll be picking up Sonic Unleashed this week, methinks. The Wii version, since DIMPS made it and I don't really trust Sonic Team to deliver a non-buggy game.

Ironically people are attacking Dimps beacause the wii version might be a speedfest but for me still looks fun.

I think both versions are different enough to warrant a rent. ( btw 8.0 from nintendo power)
