A wonderful surprise awaits Xbox 360 owners today, as the long-awaited multiplayer demo for Battlefield Bad Company 2 has finally arrived.
Bad Company 2 represents the biggest challenger to Modern Warfare 2’s supremacy. Though it is unlikely Bad Company 2 will remove Modern Warfare from its perch, it will hopefully make a large dent in its popularity. My dislike of Modern Warfare 2 is well-documented. I consider it nothing more than Halo in disguise with dopey gameplay, poor balance, sloppy design and worst of all, completely broken multiplayer (on every platform!).
Modern Warfare 2 was a major disappointment.
Bad Company 2 looks like a completely different beast. Grit, carnage, tactics, teamplay, vehicles, aircraft, objectives….and a completely destructible environment. In my humble opinion, Battlefield Bad Company 2 will mop the floor with Modern Warfare 2, offering far more gameplay and variety, graphics every bit as good (if not better, considering the environmental destruction), and best of all: dedicated servers, so multiplayer will actually be smooth for everyone, not some illusion of balance that Modern Warfare 2 foolishly believes is acceptable.
Unsure how you feel about the forthcoming Bayonetta? Not quite sold on playing a character who looks like Sarah Palin and carries a big chain? I hear you. Fortunately, a demo will be appearing in North America on December 3rd for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
A demo for the much anticipated third person action title BAYONETTA will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network in the US and across Europe on December 3rd.
BAYONETTA has achieved a perfect score of 10/10 in EDGE magazine in the UK, becoming only the 11th game to do so in the magazine’s history since its first issue in 1993.
BAYONETTA was also recently reviewed by Japan’s most respected games magazine Weekly Famitsu, achieving a perfect score of 40/40 for Xbox 360 and 38/40 for PlayStation 3, with both scores garnering a Platinum award. BAYONETTA is only the 12th game ever to receive a perfect score in the magazine’s history since its first issue in 1986.
BAYONETTA is set for release in the US on January 5th and across Europe on January 8th 2010 on Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. BAYONETTA was released in Japan on October 29th.
The Tokyo Game Show is right around the corner and Microsoft has announced what they will be showing, both in terms of playable games and game videos. Here’s the list:
Bethesda, best known for Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls, is slowly evolving into a publisher of 3rd-party titles. WET, created by Artificial Mind & Movement, is one of those products and if the demo is anything to go by, Bethesda may want to stick with creating games. It may be worth noting that Activision Blizzard was the original publisher, but the game was canned when the two companies merged. Perhaps they knew something Bethesda didn’t….
Quick review: It’s Stranglehold with a chick. That’s either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how much you like Stranglehold. Feels like a clunky mess that will get boring real quick, but hey, what do I know? Check it out yourself on Xbox Live. Weighs in at about 600 megs.
Fancy yourself some off-road racing or hip-checks? Two new demos have arrived for the Xbox 360, including Codemaster’s tasty-looking Dirt 2 and EA Sports’ NHL 10.
A demo for hardcore flight-sim IL-2 Sturmovik is now available on the Xbox 360, weighing in at 1.22-gigs. Demo contains two playable scenarios, including The Battle of Britain and The Battle of the Bulge. Hopefully IL-2 Sturmovik isn’t too dumbed-down when compared to its PC brethren, as the Xbox could use a flight-sim with meat on its bones, not another glorified shooting gallery like some other games I could mention.
