That is such a good use of Xbox Live, I'm really impressed with that.

Yup. Why bother with all the downloading videos of the back of someones head when you can download the real trailer or demo in HD.

The Test Drive demo seems to have gone up, along with a buttload of game trailers. I shall be downloading them when I get home.

The new Dead Rising trailer gives away a few more gameplay details, but not much, and sadly most of the footage is from original trailer. I can't say I care or have even heard of most of the others that are up at the moment.

Test Drive demo is a bit crap. Seems Atari has gone for the Iron tree syndrome, hitting one at 130 mph doesnt dent the tree just stops you dead :(

Yeah and graphically it's pretty underwhelming.

What is there to actually do apart from going into the races / time trials? I can do that in PGR3.

It took bloody ages to download and has crashed twice on me so far. But I liked the test drive demo, it was nice taking a drive around the island and bumping into other online players. :)

In a peverse way I like the Test Drive demo - you can go where you want (woo - down the beach!). I cant see how they could get round the iron tree syndrome to be honest - unless you stop the player leaving the road.

With the processing power of the Xbox at least give us deformable landscape, I was looking forward to a game where I could roam at will, the demo has given me a game where I can roam at will unless I hit a tiny piece of scenery in which case I will be stopped dead in my tracks.

Its freedom to drive as long as you dont stray from the road, how hard would it have been to allow your car to plow through flowerbeds, small bushes etc.

The 35th anniversary extra pack theme is only free if you buy the game :(

Its nice to see another game only charging 400 points.

I wonder if it's because it's coming out on PS2 as well which wouldn't be able to cope with all that deformable stuff.
