Demo's Galore

You may or may not remember that i reported there would be a Bulletstorm demo going live on the 25th. Well turns out EA isn't happy with just taking over your life for the half hour it takes to finish that demo, because now they've revealed a Crysis 2 online multiplayer demo will be hitting the same day. The demo will only include 1 map and 2 game modes, but should give you the opportunity to try out the highly anticipated online multiplayer before the game releases. Oh and on the topic of Bulletstorm, i may or may not know of someone who may or may not have played it and may or may not have thought it was good, but may or may not be allowed to talk about it... but my suggestion, go out and pick up the demo before you drop your hard earned cash on it.

Chaos Before The Storm

If you're like me (and hopefully you're not) then when a game like Bulletstorm comes up, you're a bit cautious about it. Personally, i'm not remotely sold on the upcoming shooter yet but many people seem to be ready to dive into it headfirst (digging up their Gears 3 beta codes at the same time). Well if you ARE like me, or just can't stand the wait till release then i have some good news... Bulletstorm will be getting a demo, which you'll be able to grab from the marketplace from January 25th. This should give people a chance to actually decide whether they like the game based on stuff other than it's overuse of swearing and crude humour, like say, it's gameplay.

Beta Be Ready

I'm pretty sure i once promised to tell everyone when i had more info on the Gears of War 3 beta... Well guess what, I have news on the Gears 3 beta... Obviously. So it has been announced that the public can get exclusive access by buying the Epic Edition of Bulletstorm. Yep, that's it. The only way into the beta will be to pick up the special edition of Epic's other new release. Can't say that it interests me a whole lot, but i'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to drop the extra cash to get into the beta (just look at the Halo 3 beta). The Epic Edition of Bulletstorm also includes a bunch of extra DLC, including extra experience, weapons and outfits. Bulletstorm hits shelves at the end of February, and Gears should be hitting shelves later in the year.
