Me too Paulos and IGN score it something mad like 8.6

Pretty ****e single player but I'd imagine 16 player online could be quite a hoot.

Still, no sale on the grounds it'll get played 3 times then never again - I'll keep the points for the halo maps.

2nd Blacksite Area 51 demo is up 980 odd meg

[Yoshimax]

Went up yesterday ! not tried it yet !

I'm hearing the HAlo theme for GH3 is up now !

[Dazzyman]

Soon as I get GH3 on 360 Im buying the packs :P

Just gave Undertow a whirl. Really liked it after you figure out wtf's going on and how to transform into the other vehicles. Quite manic and really nice graphics (apart from the scuba guys being quite small!)

[Myth]

Halo theme for Guitar Hero is sweet.

HL2: Episode 2 demo is up, 723mb. Downloading it now just to see how it plays (will post later whether it contains any spoilers if anyones interested)

Edit: just noticed it's already posted, ah well

[Yoshimax]

They've missed a trick there - putting up 6 or 7 of the first testchambers from Portal would've done a lot more to compel people to buy the box.

I know HL2 is the big star but still.

[ChrisF]

For a second I thought they had put up a few chambers from Portal as the demo presents you with the option to select which title to play. Although, obviously, you can't actually choose anything other than HL2. I assume it's the same menu from the full thing?

[Yoshimax]

Sounds like it - in the full game they're all listed along the bottom and when you highlight them individually a little movie kicks in with sound.

Haven't bought Orange box yet so this caught my interest. I actually thought it was "okay". Just more Half Life 2. As said above I would have much prefered some Portal or a timed Team Fortress 2 demo to try and convince me to part with my cash.

According to Eurogamer, Tomb Raider Anniversary is now on Live.

It lets those of you with a copy of Legend download the game in two packs containing two episodes. Each are around 1.5GB and will cost 1200 Points (GBP 10.20 / EUR 13.96).

M'kay, so what if you don't have Legend (anymore) ?

[Spatial]

Then you have to go and buy the full retail version.

I take it the splitting in two is done to get around the achievements restrictions?

[HaHaUK]

It'll still be cheaper getting the retail Anniversary Edition (under £25 online) for those who don't want to shell out for Legends again.

[chopemon]

If you are a real TR fan and achievement whore you may want to buy both.

The retail game has 1000 pts and because the DLC is a linked to Legend, that has 250 pts as well.
