It’s been a demoriffic week, and we’re here to discuss it. Join us for our impressions of the demos for Killzone 2, Halo Wars, Phantasy Star Portable, and A Vampire Story. Also, it’s not a demo, but we now own copies of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. EA announced a whole bunch of stuff, Left 4 Dead DLC is (sorta) revealed, and Ajguy laments some sad Fallout 3 news.

Love the show and all, but I really have to correct you on your comments about Edge Magazine. They gave Sonic 06 3/10, not 9, you must have got your wires crossed somewhere. Edge is by far and away the best games publication out there at the moment.
Whoops! You know what, now that I think about it, it may have been Play magazine. Apology to come in the next show.
Catching up on my podcasts and heard this one. It was Play, as you corrected in a later podcast, but they gave it a 9.5 in the magazine. They later revised that down to an 8.5 on their website, when it was obviously out to lunch.
Dave Halverson, who reviewed the game, didn’t learn his lesson though. He later said it was between Sonic and Gears of War for his Game of the Year vote, then went on to give Golden Axe: Beast Rider a glowing review and attack all the people who gave it poor ones.
