I spent nearly an hour telling little tanks to attack using my headset. On the other hand Portal was pretty good. A good thinking game. BioShock I got to grips with quite well, which is something since I'm useless at FPS I found Stranglehold pretty good. I might buy it if I see it cheap.

Reloading! Posts: 16,600 Group: Mod Member #6 Joined: June 16, 2006	The Banjo demo confirmed my worse fears, it does seem to depend on what vehicles you build. And building them was boring. Meh! On the plus side the demo lets you play online with other players which were fun. First game I played was a sea battle I had a ship but some other online players had planes they must have got from the main game. The other game was a battle to stay in a moving crown while knocking others out of it.

The 1.25GB demo from Pandemic Studios is available worldwide. Both good and evil campaigns can be sampled, with gameplay comparable to that of the studio's previous release Star Wars: Battlefront. The full game retails on January 13 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, with an original version in the works for the Nintendo DS. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/a139871/lotr-conquest-demo-on-xbox-live.html
