The demo levels of Ace Combat 6 and HAWX are near-identical, which makes it obvious that AC6 is the better game. The only interesting thing is "OFF mode" which plays like some weak Afterburner-like afterthought, but still manages to be the best part of the demo.

Impressive looking Unreal Tournament clone coming to XBLA:

Like the guy on the comments noted, this game will live or die on the strength of its netcode. Certainly looks the bollocks though.

Death Tank for Live Arcade this Wednesday.

Why price a game like this the-all-too-soon-standard 1200 points? I was really looking forward to this one, now I'm at least really looking forward to the demo.

Lost and Damned out today, then, anyone in? Multiplayer looks slick:

Already downloading. Kicked it off before I left for work

[teamonkey]

I'll be around at some point

[Misfit]

Has the graphic engine been improved?

Been a while since I've been in GTA and those screenshots look very nice...

[Rod_S]

Character models seem to be more detailed maybe?

Love the look of this...

[mutopian]

By luck I happen to be off work today (purely coincidental) so I'll probably be grabbing it down in a wee bit

If they are anything like most 'screen shots' rendered out as promo stuff for games they are not actual real time game footage. They use the same engine but render out stills at a much higher res for promotional use.

[teamonkey]

No, those are just stills output from the Xbox, although some of them look like they have the film grain from TLAD switched off. It's the same graphics engine from GTA4, no upgrades.

I'm really excited about this, but it'll be tomorrow before it's downloaded. Can't wait.

I'm still working very slowly through the main campian of GTA4
The trouble with GTA and other sandbox type games is there's too much fun to be had dicking around.

Lost and Damned is tremendous. If you've been watching torrents of the pretty damn great US series Sons Of Anarchy, this is the game of the show:



Bike handling is mercifully forgiving and feels incredible when you look back and see the rest of your chapter riding behind you. The new radio shows and songs add loads to the atmosphere - blasting along a freeway at night with Run To The Hills screaming out, barely audible over the exhaust note of six Harley Davidson choppers, en route to slaughtering a rival chapter? This is the shit. Doesn't really feel like GTA4, there's a brand new vibe and feel to it. There's even -gasp- mid level checkpoints on some of the sections I've played so far.

Get it.

Can you play the game dressed as a hotdog?
