I remember going through a town and some kind of cloud city. I just
remember in the town the city would close up behind you and you couldn't
go back. There were some witches flying through the sky, that was about
the only thing I found cool. At the time I remember thinking how nice
it was to actually get a demo before the game was released, doesn't
happen often enough any more. Too bad the demo turned me off the game.
I probably would have bought it if I hadn't played them
I'm a complete wide open slut for games, I try to give 'em all a chance
and I almost always like games like Painkiller. I also recently tried
the Tribes Vengeance demo, pffft, didn't like it either.
I actually really like a game that has been generally panned, Star Wars
Battlefront. It's basically BF 1942 with blasters and tie fighters but
I find it fun.
I'm mostly waiting for HL2, like everyone else, though.
