I figured I'd try the marketplace demos today after only playing Moto GP. Well I downloaded a few including Prey, Condemned, Quake 4 and R6:Vegas. I was rather scared by Condemned but am thinking of checking out the proper game, has anyone played it??
The only other demo worth talking about was R6, I decided I'd play things on realistic (big mistake :p) and the health system is very good how your view blurs when you are injured. Just checked out a review on ign and its' got a good score. There does seem to be a thing going on between this and gears, which personally I think is rather unfair as they are very different games in themes and styles. They both have cover systems and from reading the review I don't think either is better they work in their own way. Will certainly be having a crack at the demo more later on. Quake 4 and Prey got deleted after 2 minutes play ;D
So what other demos have you got that you really enjoyed? Is anyone waiting for the crackdown demo? I'm not entirely sure about it myself.
I got scared by condemned too - its £17.99 on play.com or maybe cheaper.
blazing angels is a good demo. ninety nine nights was enjoyable too. shame I'm too broke to get any :)

The reviewer of condemned said they screamed a few times ;D I'm the sort of person who would scream too :embarassed:
Oh tried out the sonic demo it was rather weird playing in 3d as I kept falling off the course. Oh and I heard about you playing Sonic Pheebs :p

Leo, when I see you next week I'll happily loan you Condemned for a while, I've got it and don't see myself spending much time on it in the forseeable future :)
As for Rainbow 6, the online matches can be fantastic fun. Most of the matches are set for a time limit with respawns on, so even if you die a lot you're never just sat around waiting for the match to finish. I can show you that next weekend as well :)
And as for other demo's, I download and try pretty much all of them. I only recently got around to playing the Amped 3 demo and enjoyed it so much I had the full game within 2 weeks :)
Quite a lot of people rave over Condemned but I couldn't get into it at all, seemed to slow to start with, plus it scared the crap out of me on more than one occasion. :embarassed: If I want to scare myself I'll just look at a picture of Davey. ;D
Haven't tried too many demo's but one I did enjoy was Smackdown vs Raw 2007, but then I love most wrestling games. :)

thanks very much, though think i'll have to do a pheebs and have a poop first :p
Condemned was one of the first demoes I downloaded. Yet I've never played it :embarassed:
And as it's dark and I've got an empty house to myself, I think I'll wait till daylight :p

Well it was daylight and I still turned it off after I met the second junkie ;D
Knew of condemned but never really looked into it before. Worth a butchers then? :)

He'd just hand it over, our metro wouldn't want to mess his hair and besdies he's got his Wii to play with ;D
Pff, a real metro has proper gel which is difficult to mess up in a scuffle ;D;D
He's right though, I've still got Zelda to get through, Oblivion to make some effort with and maybe Enchanted Arms to play through, so I'll make way for Leo :)
You know you want to ;)
I was dreaming about it last night :embarassed: Suppose I did play it for around 7hrs yesterday though ;D

Judging by the scared squeaking noises that came from the den the other night when Leo was playing the demo, I'd say that was punishment enough ;D
well I completed the demo last night and didn't scream once :) but was highly nervous most of the time ;D
