Crysis demo

[Aberrant]

Aruth probably already knows this, but I heard on a podcast that the demo is coming out around September 25th!

They said the demo is a single player level with a "surprise".

Yep...can't wait. Looks good. I might have to wait awhile on it though, as there are way too many good games coming out this year.

And all of them being shooters

We get it. You don't like shooters, or at least ones you can't rotate your head on.


Ab, have you seen Medal of Honor: Airborne?

Some notes from the devs:

The clue's in the title - and as it suggests, Medal of Honor: Airborne will dress you up as a paratrooper and chuck you out of a plane for the first time in the series. You'll drop behind enemy lines like a sack of potatoes from pant-soiling heights, and this shift in focus is more than just a nifty animated introduction to each mission - how and where you parachute will drastically alter the way you play the game.

"We're going for as seamless an experience as possible, from the airfield briefing to the plane, to the jump itself," explains Patrick Gilmour, executive producer of this latest MOH. "You control everything a soldier would control, including the actual exit from the plane and the drop from that point forward. From the air, you will be able to see every objective in the operation, but the extent to which you can reach them will depend upon your exit point and the altitude of the jump."

Not so, says Gilmour. "It's entirely up to the player to read the battlefield. You can land on rooftops, crash through windows, in alleys, on top of walls and so on. The entire space is playable." We'll hold you to that! of course, allowing players to choose what part of the level they begin their mission in surely means lazy gamers will opt to land right next to the primary objective and finish it off in a matter of seconds? Again, the team has taken this into account. "The choices you make in the air will dramatically affect what kind of gameplay you get once you hit the ground," states Gilmour. "You have full control of the parachute and will be able to drop into the encounter wherever you choose - on a rooftop, an orchard, or even right on top of an enemy AA gun position."

Yep, it's a great time to be a fan of shooters ;D

I played the demo of MoH on the 360. It was pretty decent. The ability to parachute in gives it some replayability. The demo was single player, so I am going to wait to hear how the multiplayer is. The graphics were nice, and the gameplay reminded me of Call of Duty. I haven't really played any of the past MoH games, so I don't know which one started first.

Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars is coming October 2nd, I believe
