I've played over 20 360 games and i'm not easily impressed.
downloaded and played the demo last night and wow!
This game will win alot of awards and most likely game of the year.
I've never played System Shock, but now I'm a huge fan of this developer.
I don't recommend anyone to download the demo, otherwise you will be so pissed off that you will need to wait another week for the game to come out

Am I the only one that seen the mini-game and thought Pipe Dream! Maybe I'm the only one that had an AMIGA back in 89?

just A
you have to press A on a title to have it unveal the tile, then swap it with the one you are holding.
I basically uncovered about 20 titles ASAP and just build the pipe from that "cache". If I need a specific peice to complete the pipe, I'll either start unveiling more titles, or I'll just edit my initial plan to work with the tiles I have at my disposal.
Much easier than you might think
now, if you were talking about spinning the titles, again, I didn't know about that

I plan on getting the PC version too. Just built a new PC a couple months ago. This game should look great.

It's not? Maybe it just came easy to me after playing all those hours of goldeneye and Unreal championship. Now that was hard trying to look around with buttons intead of a joystick.
I also used to play FPS on pc with keyboard and mouse. I never liked that set up..

Something has been bugging me about the demo all day, storywise. Why in the hell is Jack (the main character) so unhesitant to inject himself with the plasmid?
If I just landed in that place and witnessed the freaky splicer incident at the pod, there is no way I'm juicing up myself with the same stuff that's probably running through their veins. Did Atlas say anything that I missed?
