That is great news, I have been wanting to play this since I beat Dawn of Sorrow on my DS, and this will undoubtedly be cheaper than what the PS1 version is going for. I look forward to playing this when I get a 360.

I dont know what else to say, other then, microsoft knows EXACTLY what its doing at this point. Freakin amazing. I severly doubt anything sony can do will compete with a powerhouse of a service like xbl.

I've been gone for a week, nice to see the slew of demos (Dead Rising, Saints Row, SFII HF) this week.

Any initial impressions of the demo?

OOOOOHHH!!! Even though I expect to be ridiculously disappointed in the actual game, I can't wait to try out the demo for Dead Rising (d/l now).

Also, SOTN on XBL...wow, just wow.

Over at CheapAssGamer, there is 1 or 2....some are saying it's fun, 1 button combat though. I think the demo has no goal, just chop till you drop.

I never played that one, so I'm more excited for Time Pilot and Scramble!

PixyJunket 08-04-06 09:53 AM

Time Pilot is great. I still play it on my GBA from time to time.

Giantrobo 08-04-06 09:58 AM

The Dead Rising demo is decent. When the title and the start screen popped up I was already creeped out and "on edge"...(read, kinda scared :lol: ) But hey, that's a good thing right? I always get this way with Survival Horror games because they always get my heart rate going.

I was downloading it at home and had to go to work. However, when I got to work I started downloading it there.


Just played it for about 30 minutes, it seems pretty damn fun. I do have an issue with the fact that there seems to be very few different attacks with each weapon...most seem to only have 1 or 2, and you only have one attack button. But regardless, I had a fun time with it, and can see playing the demo quite a bit more before the game comes out next week.

That's awesome. I still have two copies of the original though. I'd like to see more "modern classics" like this Live Arcade.. it would definitely ease me into eventually buying on of these things. The Saturn version sucked though, so I'm not sure why it was even mentioned. ;)

In this instance, Sony will probably respond by saying "place your Castlevania disc in your PS3. Voila."

I'm the same way. Resident Evil Spoiler:

The first time the dogs came through the window I nearly shit myself. The same thing happened in the sequel when the lickers jump through the two-way mirror.

The Dead Rising demo is fun wen it comes to killing the walking dead but can you do any of the mission objectives? I played the demo 2 times and each times I walked into some area, a cut scene played and then the demo was over. It seems like a cool game but it's a shitty demo.

Apparently it can offer at least 2 hours of gameplay, but the demo ends when you trigger the boss fight.

I love the Dead Rising Demo I have played it about 5 times already. I can't wait to get a copy of the game so I can hack away at more zombies. My favorite weapon has to be the hunting knife, I get very fast kills with it. I found the toy store with the light saber swords, they weren't so great only for knocking the zombies back not killing them.

Since I'm at work and can't play the demo until tomorrow sometime...

How big does the mall feel? Do you get the sense you're really in a giant shopping mall?

And how about the hundreds of zombies on screen at once. Does the 360 pull it off? Any slowdown?
