Yeah my mate said it was 25 biff! Shame I'm skint.
Anyways, because I'm skint its demo review time!
Need for Speed SHIFT;
Visually quite an impressive game, its no Gran Turismo by any means but it still looks quite stunning.
What the demo lacked though is a clue as to the objective of the game (obviously win races) but the last NFS I played was Underground... the more lower races you won, the more money you earned, the more spent on tuning your car the higher prestige races you could enter!
This though, bit odd, a couple of races where you have t earn stars, these can be earned by completing objectives such as fastest lap time, leading for a whole lap, podium finishes, or reaching a set speed threshold.
Whilst it was a fun 20 minutes killed, I completed all the objectives within 15 minutes, which in turn let me have a go of the Pagani Zonda F. So I spun that round the same tracks, and errr won again.
I don't know, I guess what I'm saying is the races are fun, but there just seems to be no real objective set.
Next I played TMNT Re-Shelled.
A side-scrolling fighting game, which immediately screamed Streets of Rage, and also the Simpsons arcade game (remember?);
Its a pretty back to basics game, with only three buttons of jump, attack and special attack... and also fun nonetheless. More worth £4.99 at a push than £7.99 though to be honest.
Finally, the Uncharted 2 Online Beta.
Matchmaking was pretty good, I like the idea of a choice of two maps and the majority vote getting to be the winner.
The action in game though is pretty poor if I'm honest, they added multiplayer because a lot of people screamed about it would have been the perfect game last time around if it had multiplayer so they've listened and added.
Whilst its fun, its one game I'll have to say where the multiplayer action won't keep me playing once I've completed single player. I still think the single player will be immense on this thing though, and I'll still keep it just in case any DLC comes out afterwards (I'm looking at you World at War....).
