(although as West Coast said.. kids will probably find it pretty fun). The feature i liked best, altough not a big fan of Potter, was the right-analog stick control to cast spells.. throwing those benchs to the wandering students was probably the most enjoyable moment of this timed-demo lol it would be nice if we actually heard him cast the spell each of the time we do it.. and not every other time as it seems to be the case and yeah.. great marketing technique: vegas STRIP POKER edition. just for having to use that.. i HOPE that game sucks. and dammit why cant sony update the EU store like there in the US?... i mean.. EU store its not even a correct thing to assume as a whole. ---- i had to download NINJA GAIDEN from the EU uk store, because the demo hasnt been released in the EU portuguese Store yet.. btw does any1 know why do the games i some games (mostly from EA :/) i download from the US store show as Black & White on my tv set?! does it have something to do with PAL-RGB and NTSC thing? GREAT blog.. cant really like the look of it.. BUT lots of news and PS3 info goodness!! :) pixel junk racers… i think it is an awesome game. if it were only a slot care race it would probably get dull after a couple of plays. there seems to be duzens of challenges in PJR, and i cant wait to play the Full version of it (maybe its because i played it with a couple of friends i’ve enjoed it so much.. :| ) .. i hope that game is released here in the EU store :_)

I was expecting a slot car race set where you had to vary the speed and go around a track, the goal being to be first across the line. Instead it has a weird system of goals that you have to do, like get your car in the blue circle. Harry Potter had nice graphics and my son found it interesting. NHL 08 was good. Decent graphics, fairly fun game play. The new Tony Hawk was good. Played that one through the full 10 minutes. I haven't bothered with FIFA 08 yet. My take on the latest batch of demos:

Besides, I haven't bought FIFA in years... PES is far superior. :-) @hollywooda: After my experiences with the original Xbox, I wouldn’t have a 360 if MS paid me to take it!

I wonder if that is some intentional subliminal joke or marketing gimmick. Yes, it looks like PJR is a swing and a miss. Establishing a new gaming concept is really hard: for every strike of gold, there are dozens of duds. That's why many companies like to stick to established game concepts and IP and retro remakes: much safer. bunny, I do the same thing.

I can't see the damn cars I am supposed to pass because they are light grey on a light grey track! Who's lame ass idea was that? Also everything is too small even on a 36 inch tv....... Thank god they gave a demo so we could see it sucks for free. pixel junk racers is pixel CRAP! I can’t see the damn cars I am supposed to pass because they are light grey on a light grey track!

And the character models are awful! The castle itself looks fine I guess but the characters are sooo bad, what's the deal EA? This is next gen .....
