Does Max Payne honestly still hold up today? The movie coming out got me interested in playing the games, and this seems like it would be the perfect opportunity to buy them.
Bioshock is a perfect example of reviews helping a game sell. Honestly the demo mixed with the amazing reviews led me and most of my friends to buy it, without that, it would of sold a lot less than it did.
I'll probably be playing a lot of 360 with Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 (mostly Horde), my new favorite game netflix (I'd never looked at instant queue before until NXE), and hopefully some time to play peggle (the most addicting game ever).
I have a feeling this demo could have a bioshock-like effect for the game. Hopefully it will open it up to a lot of people who normally wouldn't get it. It looks to be good, and it would be nice for Ensembles last game to be a huge hit (love all their games).
It's time to attempt to play catch up to '08 titles before the '09 titles hit (RE5). So it's time for Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 (Horde mode), Peggle (bought it while on sale on steam, freaking addicting), and whichever game I decide to buy next (split between Fable 2 and Prince of Persia)
Fallout 3 Gears of War (trying to beat Horde on Day One) Team Fortress 2 This year I've been trying to avoid buying too many holiday games (especially after last year, never beat half of them).
