Gamestop has it, but told me they can't sell it until 8/21. Sucks!

Try a target store. They'll throw anything up on shelf.

Looks like Toys R Us broke the street date...evidently the game shouldn't be out.

Yeah.. good ol TRU. Too bad I couldn't snag a copy.

I get so sick and tired of the "street date" bs.

I don't have much interest in FPS (I've only ever finished 2...Halo and COD2), but that Bioshock demo is totally AMAZING and leaves me wanting so much more.

Me too! I am a bit more into FPS's though and this one looks like a winner! I was afraid it would be a bit saturated with all the other games like FEAR and Prey, but you can almost immediately see why this one is going to be a top notch title.

Just from the demo, the game looks and feels like tons of work was put into this game.

Sorry if this has been asked already, Anyone know when we will see the Madden 08 demo on the Marketplace?

Thanks!

It is pretty damn good. It's a lot more realistic when it comes to what you can pull off. It's totally different than the Tony Hawk series...and that's a good thing since that has gotten kinda stale of late.

Agreed. It's got a nice back to basics feel that seems very fresh.

Bought it and love it. It is fun to bull run the enemies but it can be hard to see what the heck is going on.

Madden Demo up for anyone still not playing the game

greggsand · Post by **greggsand** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 1:15 pm

Puzzle Fighter next week. One of the greatest 'head 2 head' games ever (and one of the few my wife loves to play)...

Blazing Angels 2 demo is up. Fun demo. A little weird with the jets in WWII and all, but it's still fun-more like Ace Combat with the fictional planes and all, but still very much Blazing Angels...GREAT environmental ambiance...

I played the MoH: Airborne demo and I really enjoyed it a lot. Everything I've seen about this game has me feeling that I will like it, and this demo hasn't changed my mind at all. I'm really looking forward to this one.

I also played the Blazing A's demo, and that was pretty darn good, too. I enjoyed the MP co-op of the last one a lot, as well as one or two of the adversarial online modes, and the new game seems to be tweaked and smoothed out in certain control related issues. It's not going to be a realistic sim, but the demo makes it seem like it will be a well put together flight shooter and if there is online co-op for the missions, I think it's looking really good.

Damn these pesky developers and their quality games! There's too many of them!

I'm going to be buying skate, now. It's just got such a great 'back to the roots' pure skating feel to it, and I find myself booting up the demo over and over again to play it, even though it makes you work though a tutorial each time before allowing free ride.

I'm really shocked that it's EA, and going away from the crazy BIG stuff.

Good game.

I believe the COD4 beta is out today. I'm gonna try and DL when I get home. Anyone else doing the same?
