Wtf, no love for New England?

I'd go to the one in Woodbridge, VA, but by that time I will have forgotten about this and even if I do remember, I won't want to spend the money on gas to drive from Richmond up there.

Only thirty minutes away from me, I might have to go check this out.

So go wait in a line to play a demo that I can download for free closer to release? Yeah, I think I'll be waiting.

Btw, anyone played the multiplayer Lost Planet 2 demo yet? That was ridiculously cool. This game went from something I was luke warm about to something I'm excited about due to the online co-op.

Did it totally knock you on your ass? Was it hard to get back up?

If you get knocked down in this demo, you are probably dead.

However, to answer your subtle question, the mechanic that you hated in the first game does not appear to be there in the second.

Halo hasn't had a demo since the original Halo, so I doubt there is going to be one.

I doubt I'm going to buy this game then. Honestly, I really enjoy Halo and I know that Halo is going to be a high quality product, but the one cash-in on Halo so far (Halo Wars) was reported to be highly simplistic and shallow.

While I enjoy the occasional shooter, the field is so thick with them now that they have to somehow get me interested in their title. I'm willing to find out what's new about ODST in a demo, but I'm not interested enough to seek this information out on my own.

Apparently Alaska is part of Canada.... =) Or at the very least not part of the US.
