It's looking fantastic:

The top two are the new ones (high res and medium res).

It was (apparently now mistakenly) up on Live early for a couple of hours. Those that managed to download it are raving about it :)
Not sure if it's still available... Will be back on later though..

It's definitely up there for download now. And its a stonkingly good demo. Probably the best explosions I've seen in a game yet.

I've played it. It looks pretty, but the gameplay is a bit, erm, done to death.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss

Everything's been done to death. This is the videogaming age we live in, one where everything's already been done.

I like the lost Planet demo and I'll be buying the full on the strength of this demo.
Tetra has bagsie on the Boingy. It is the law.

Feel the magic? Animal Crossing? WarioWare? Wii games? ;)

Animal Crossing is the dullest game I've ever come across. The mrs likes it though. Reminds her of when she had a doll's house when she was a nipper. WarioWare is ok if you want to game for a few minutes.

After looking at the stuff on the Wii it just looks like more Ninty franchise milking. Again.

I use Mame more than anything else (for the 2D shooters) but for modern stuff I'll be staying with the 360 and getting the occasional game with a bit of action in it I think.

I had a quick 10 second bash on the Lost Planet demo... apart from the fact that it didn't respect my "Invert Y-Axis" setting,thus encouraging me to fill teh snow with lead whilst running backwards away from some icky things into the mother of all icky things (resulting in poo pants), I didn't see any explosions.

So yes - Uridium on the C64 wins.

;)

The cave bit in the lost planet demo is pretty awesome, mowing down all them flying things witha gatling cannon is good fun.

But yeah, nothing new as far as I can see.
Because fucking marketing cunts would never call a spade anything other than a Deluxe Easi-Shift Earth Movement Solution.

OK, Live was iffy again in the morning, but currently, it's business as usual. I think that the peak hours (worldwide) hit during after 22:00 (GMT +2) to 9 in the morning (GMT+2)

Press start during the game then you can invert the Y-Axis to suit your very wrong needs :D

I'm loving the demo, its no walk over and it seems like there's a fair bit of game for a 300mb download, nice.
