Having said that, the rest of the demo does feel rather average, just because a game is set to a horror theme, doesnt instantly make it scary. I was expecting some jump out of nowhere enemy attacks, there was nothing to make me jump at all. Even after going solo with the one character, which is a perfect position to scare the player, it seemed again that they thought that doing that was enough. The other issue I found was that I couldnt figure out the HUD. Honestly, through out the entire demo, I had no idea where my health or ammo or whatever else the game included was. I mean, I didn't spend a large amount of time looking for it, but I feel it should be rather intuitive, and that weird circle thing just didn't do it. I say average. Definately something i'll pick up off ebay after a few months, but oddly my girlfriend likes it, so i may be forced into getting it earlier at retail price.. then again, her birthday is coming up soon ;) I’m suprised how well the teamplay works in Jericho, I honestly didn’t think a team of 7 (or 3 that was avaliable in the demo) could work, but each having a specific weapon, power and role to play made it work well.

Come on square enix, get on the ball, what are you afraid of, fanboy drool?

I can't wait until MGS1 is released on the PSN store, of course it's not confirmed, but I'm thinking it's a good bet to guess it'll be released soon before MGS4 (or maybe used as a distraction is MGS4 is delayed.. hope this doesn't happen, but simultaneous worldwide releases can be problematic). Also, I wonder if MGS2 and 3 could be released as downloads? My guess is the large download size, and possible issues concerning compatability between Emotion/non-Emotion chip PS3s is all that would hold them off. I want the new MGS4 video’s!

Another great demo! Can't wait to check out Jericho. I seriously don't have time to play all this. I'm still hooked on LocoRoco from last week (I played for about 1.5 hours yesterday: I'm up to 99 locos). I still have Heavenly Sword and GRAW2 out on GameFly and have barely had time to play them.
