Play Your Station

Now avaialable on the XBOX Live Marketplace (PS3 Netwrok and PC aswell) is the “Race Drive: grid” Demo.  The demo is 795.04 MB, so it’s not really THAT big, but anyways.  Go dwonload it, check it out, and I’ll have a review of the demo up later.

The time trial feature that is also included in the demo is a competition in which you have a chance to win a car and other ace (cool) prizes.  first time I;ve seen this in a demo.

GRiD now has a release date….Wait for it….Wait for it…June 3rd, 2008 (2 days after my b-day…Codemasters? Hint hint? haha, Just playing)  Anyways, also, this week, there will be a demo for this game on the live marketplace and PlaysStation Network(I’m guesing).  The game will be launchingf for the DS, XBOX 360, PS3, and PC.

Yes..people are saying “Oh, GTAIV will out do CoD4 in online play!” POSSIBLY, yes, for a week or so, because from the stories I have heard..the multi-player is FUN, not really competitive because, I mean, how can it not be fun driving around a city with your friends? I personally don’t think it’ll take the tops spot, but will come close. If it does? Well, I wont be surprised either, haha.

There are two versions. The regular and the Collectors Edition, which I was lucky enough to grab at the midnight release. Below is a video of what can be found in the collectors edition. (I made it by the one, single handedly, with one hand most of the time, so it may not be the best quality…haha.)

Yup, the demo for “Operation Darkness” was released sometime yesterday. This game is a mix of RPG and RTS based in an alternate…variation of WW2. It still has the Nazis (German Army) and authentic WW2 weapons. To me…this is time consuming, even with the demo…but if you like RPGs, give this demo a shot, its only around 300 to 500 megs I believe. I rate it a 6.5-7/10, but thats just me, I’ll give it another try later. What are you waiting for, go download it!

Thats right, now on XBOX Live Marketplace, you can download and view the Announcement trailer and a gameplay trailer (Which in my opinion, is well made, and funny, just watch it and see).  They are fairly small (around 70 megs for the gameplay footage atleast).  They are well worth your time to download and view, so check em out!

I remember a while back of hearing a game by the name of Brothers in Arms Hells Highway, for a long time and then out of nowhere it vanished. I thought that they had aborted the mission but I guess I was wrong. Brothers in Arms is scheduled to be released in August 2008.The game is scheduled to be released on the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PCs in August 2008. Here is the trailer (Below) that will show you what the game has got to offer but if you don’t feel like watching the vid, then please read the following.

Here are some of the new features described by Ubisoft:

Brothers In Arms Hell’s Highway - Next Generation.  The classic authentic, squad-based combat series explodes on next-generation hardware, offering unprecedented graphics and features.

New Story, New Setting. Follow Matt Baker, Joe Hartsock and the rest of the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Market-Garden as they fight to open infamous Hell’s Highway in a daring bid for a quick end to the war.

Live the Life of an Enlisted Man. Get orders from HQ, go on patrol, spot the enemy, and set up a devastating ambush. For the first time, finding the enemy before they find you is part of the challenge.

Unprecedented Character Design. Lifelike characters look, talk, move, and think with incredible realism. Game characters interact with the player and each other like true brothers-in-arms, trading ammunition, helping wounded allies, working together to man team-operated weapons, and more.

Rich Cinematic Experience.  As the squad leader, you interact and get to know your brothers through the game. Each character has his own personality, unique story and background and grows through the game.

Powerful New Units Under Your Command. Players can use or command combined arms teams – machine gun crews create intense fire, bazooka crews destroy buildings and tanks, and mortar crews pound the enemy from a distance.

Step into the Boots of a Soldier.  Hit the dirt and get prone, rip grenades from your chest and hurl them at your enemies.  See and feel the blast of nearby explosions.

Destroyable Cover. Keep your men moving, and choose your cover wisely – simulated with real physics, weapons will damage, dent, scorch, and destroy the world around you.

Completely New Multiplayer Experience. Fight major Multiplayer battles with dozens of players on each side; all the intensity and accessibility of Deathmatch meshed with the squad-based gameplay that helped make Brothers in Arms famous.
