First off... if you don't have Bioshock go get it now. The reason I am slacking on UG is because I can't stop playing that shit :P.

Anyway, GameSpy got to play a demo of DMC4 on the 360 recently and while they claim the graphics felt slightly better, that may just be because it was a newer version of a similiar PS3 version they played a few months earlier. The game looks incredible either way you look at it and that's not the reason I made this post to begin with. The problem that seems to be evident is that since all the DMC games have been on the PS2 the transfer of the controls to the 360 controller just doesn't feel as good as it does on the Playstation controller. I personally had not even considered that as being a troublesome aspect of the game, but considering how hard a Devil May Cry game can be this is a bit worrying since I will and I am sure many others will be getting the game for the 360.

Argue however much you will; after five and a half years of hacking, slashing, and shooting demons, we and millions of gamers are very accustomed to the feel of the PlayStation controller, be it Dual Shock 2 or Sixaxis, for the DMC experience. Our gripe with the Xbox 360 demo is that the controls feel too directly ported over to Microsoft's controller, and it's not a good ergonomic fit. While the DMC games on PlayStation have used R1 to modify Dante's attacks, the Right Bumper doesn't feel natural to the gameplay experience, and certainly feels weird when you're targeting enemies to slay. Maybe it's just for the demo, and Capcom will allow for controller configurations that are better tuned to the Xbox 360's controller, but it felt really awkward to play during our demo. Aside from that, the face buttons feel perfectly fine, and the rest of the build, aside from the annoyance of the Right Bumper, is still very fun. We just wish Capcom hadn't slapped a ten-minute time limit on the "Exterminator" section, but then again, we've braved the Games Convention crowd on public days; those kids would never get off the machines.

I can't really complain, but when you consider the typical learning curve of a Devil May Cry game to be about an hour it might be a little longer with the 360 version especially with gamers used to the Playstation layout for the series.

Don't like first person shooters you ask? Well then die anyway. This game is a must have for anyone who has ever been behind a third or first person shooter/adventure/horror game. This game delivers on levels I thought had long since vanished after Half-Life 2 revealed the Gravity Gun, but sure enough someone thought up plasmids and reinvented the whole shooter once again.

I would say that if you don't have a 360 this could be the game that forces you to buy it because this game is that fucking awesome, it received so many 10/10 scores from so many damn people that its almost retarded for you not to buy it just because its supposed to be that good... and don't get me wrong it is that good.

That's all I really have to say :). Oh and you don't even have to buy it, rent it or whatever the hell you have to do, or black mail your sister into giving you money to buy it you just fucking need this game.

(Omg look at those shoes and grip tape)

So for those of you that dont already know,By the way, im not sure if its been released on the PS3, If you own a PS3 and can see if its been released, that would be wonderful, BUT ANYWAY
EA Sports finally released the damn skate. demo, and if you ask me, This game is the shit, meaning, the shit as in, this game rules!! I've played it 3 times already over and over, i love the fact that unlike all those Tony Hawk skateboarding games where you button mash every time you go off a ramp, or skate in a bowl, to do tricks. But in skate you use the right stick to preform all your moves.
For instance when you Ollie in real life, You crouch down, pop the back of the board up and slide your foot on up to the nose then even it out for a landing. So when you preform an Ollie in skate. you push the right stick down and flick it up.
Quite the amazing trick feature.

I dont know about you guys, but i gotta get my hands on this game.
Overall (based on the demo)

Controls: 10/10 (Excellent, just takes some getting used to if ur a fan of OTHER skateboard games)

Gameplay: 8/10 (I like the controls, but i mean you dont get much of the story in a demo, you just do a few quests and then skate.)

Graphics: 10/10 (Amazing! With the incredble screen angle *Like GoW* It makes everything more realistic, not to mention the clothes look not as blocky as other games)

Music: ?/? (haha i was listening to my ipod while i was playing the demo, so idk, haha. Ill edit this later)

Well not sure what else there is to say, But like Madden 08, if your a fan of football, you'll love Madden, But i got to say, if your a fan of Skateboarding, You have GOT to get this game

By the way, im not sure if its been released on the PS3, If you own a PS3 and can see if its been released, that would be wonderful, BUT ANYWAY

According to GamePolitics.com, Miami attorney and long time Gamer's enemy Jack Thompson has set his eyes on Bioshock. Even after his win with Manhunt 2 not being allowed to appear in England, he is still hungry for more. On the Gaming site listen above, he said this in a statement about Bioshock:

“Please note that big trouble is on the way for Take-Two re BioShocks [sic]” stated Thompson, finishing with his trademark, “Hooah!”

Now really, what does he have to go after with a game that is as unrealistic as Animal Crossing? The enemies in this game aren't cops or federal agents, they're undead mutants in an underwater city. And we all know that this isn't "going to train our youth to kill kill kill". It's labeled correctly on the ESRB. I tried contacting a representative from 2K Games, but they didn't have anything to say.
