My link says differently... [http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802454108c5/?bt=0&sb=1&mt=4&gu=66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802454108c5&p=1&of=1]
How so? 1/10/2009 = 10/1/2009.
And here we have a case of people who don't know that America does dates differently than the rest of the world.

I picked up the demo today - the controls were my only worry with this game, and they work as well as they could. Saying that, though, there's a ton of strategy to be played later on in the game so we'll have to wait unti the final game to see how that plays out.

Also, I'm sure that the demo states that the full game will be out on the 16th in Europe. I hope I'm wrong though, because I'm really looking forward to this game now.
Same. It looks and feels like a lame slasher.. but honestly.. jack black.. Plus a story line of Metalokalypse meets the designs of Tim Burton... I still want the games XD

Most of the world still doesn't understand why we Mourn November the 9th...

Yeah, strangely it looks like yet another Final Fight / Streets of Rage clone transferred to 3D...

Yet, damn, it just seems to have so much style that I want to play it!

OF course, I can't play it unless it goes PC.

It does look like one more reason to finally move into the current gen of consoles tho.

(I have a pretty small list of about 4 or 5 games right now that I'd get once I moved up to 360)

When this dropped for Gold members in the US I played it thtough, and I have to say that while it's not revolutionary on the hack-and-slash it's got enough adventure game stuff to keep that from getting boring. Also, most hack-and-slash games don't have hot-rods called "The Druid Plow".

I still don't get why everyone is hyped for this. And that was the demo? I saw this exact footage on CAD like two months ago.

1) Because people want to play it, presumably.
2) That it might be but now people get to play it.

And here we have a joke that quite a few people will not understand unfortunately.

Well played though sir.

Question: Is the demo Free?
No it cost 10 dollars paid directly to me.


On topic: So glad they released the demo I wasn't sure if i was gonna get the game now i really want it.
$10 is on its way.

Just finish downloading the demo off XBL and just finished the demo... OMFG! I must have this game. Could it be any cooler. Still think the funniest parts were the pop up boxes asking about profanity and gore.

Tim Schaeffer himself (who did an E3 walkthrough of the same stuff that's in the demo) and Giantbomb had you guys beat by weeks on this.

In other news... it's AWESOME!

Played the demo today. It made me go from a will-probably-buy to wait-and-see-what-people-say. Seemed like a little too much hand-holding from cutscene to cutscene--in a way that made me worry it might be like this for the entire game--I mean it just felt a little to natural for them to do things that way--and the way you killed the vagina monster was contrived and immersion-breaking. I know one cannot generalize the demo to the entire game, but what else is there to go by? So... wait and see.

Overall it comes off as feeling tightly crafted. Some stutter I got during the first 30 secs of the intro on the PS3 disappeared after that and did not return. I suppose it was loading but that too raised worries about performance down the road, since I've never seen that before even in Killzone 2 with better graphics.

Downloaded it, played it, had an nerdgasm.

Truly, this is the way a demo should be done.

the vagina monster
That was your first thought when you saw it? All I saw was a monster that looked like a guitar neck...

I love me some hacky-slashy-platformy goodness, so I'll probably get it. Also, I'd love to know if the banter as you play continues all through the game because it's hilarious; there must be tonnes of data's worth of sound bytes.
