Mirror’s Edge: Demo Impressions

by Chelsea Thompson on November 1, 2008 at 7:32 pm

Yes, I know the demo was released on PSN yesterday. However I have a 360 and I had to feverishly wait for the demo to go up today. Ever since I saw the first videos for this, I’ve been excited to get my hands on it. I didn’t have a chance to at PAX since the crowd was so large, but being able to watch someone else play the demo on an HD screen was a pretty cool experience.

So after months of anticipation, the moment of truth: Does the demo live up to the high-flying hype of this game? Read more…

Impressions: Red Faction 3 Multiplayer Beta

by Demi Adejuyigbe on August 12, 2008 at 11:08 pm

As the second sequel to 2001’s winner of the “Most Popular Shooter Developed By THQ with the Initials R.F.” award, Red Faction 3, formally known to the masses as Red Faction: Guerrilla, has quite a legacy to stand up to- a legacy full of Geo-Mod physics, taco-phone ports, moon hammers, and the world’s least lucid storyline.

A few days ago (August 9th, to be exact) FilePlanet dropped the Red Faction: Guerrilla multiplayer beta out for public consumption, and I was lucky enough to get some hands on time with THQ & Volition’s latest space-base shooter. Hit the jump for my impressions. Read more…

Speaking at Play.com Live, Far Cry 2 designer Peter Redding told us that the common expectation was that the PC version was going to be infinetely better than either the PS3 or 360. He also told us why that’s a load of rubbish. Read more…

Devil May Cry 4 Hands-On Demo Impressions (Xbox 360)

by Dan Landis on January 25, 2008 at 7:15 am

After about an hour of repeatedly playing the just-released demo of Devil May Cry 4, I’ve found myself effectively shot in the face with action-packed delight. DMC4 really is a return to form for the series, even though the protagonist is an all-new character.

Before I even begin, let me say that if you have broadband and access to the Playstation Store or Xbox Live Marketplace, go start downloading the demo right now. It’ll be a third of the way done by the time you finish reading this, and you’ll thank me for it. Read more…
