Playstation 3 Demos Reviewed

The idea of getting free demos is awesome, isn't it? You're not sure whether or not to spend time/money on renting or even buying a game so you take a little trip to the Playstation Store to check out what you can play for free. Sometimes you find something you've been looking forward to and sometimes you find titles that you've never even heard of. So what do you download? Gaming Bits gives the details.

wonder why they did a PS3 demo review, it is missing tons of demos, the 360 seems like the console you want to focus on if you want to talk about demos.

its wellcome as the psn store is and has been for a while empty, more will follow rachet soon. have to say though were are the multiplayer demos like on xbox live.GRAW2 multiplayer demo would keep you happy for a long time but only on xbox right now.

[Ignorant Fanboy]

Not counting all the Arcade demos.

Your right I cant wait for more stuff to come on the PSN, but when it does, it probably has been on Live for weeks.

They f**cking reviewing demos now jeez.

[SofaKingReetodded]

I find reviews in general a pretty pathetic affair but this is a whole new level of lame.

Tom Petty needs to make a song about an idiot army blogging away from east to west..lol

I just want to say NBA LIVE 08 and NBA 08(NBA 07 DEMO) are to different games.NBA LIVE is made by EA and the NBA titles(without the LIVE)is made by sony.Sony's 07 NBA game looked and played better than that crap EA calls NBA LIVE 08.The best NBA game there is is Sony's for PS3 and PSP which are both great.I'd download the NBA 07 DEMO if I was you.

PS3 has demos?

[barom]

rofl ofc they gotta review the download. how else would you be knowing if it's worth the download (and the hard drive space?)

[Figboy]

because they're running out of *LEGIT reasons to talk sh*t about the Playstation 3, they sink to reviewing *DEMOS so they have more fuel?

pathetic.

it's a frigging *DEMO for gods sake! how do you judge the worth of a demo? really now!

a demo is a taste of the game to come. if you enjoy the demo, you may get a kick out of the final game.

for example: i played the Dynasty Warriors Gundam Demo. it was ok. i don't plan on buying the game.

on the flip side, i played the Heavenly Sword Demo. despite it's shortness, i had a *BLAST, and am picking it up when it launches this Tuesday.

i mean, do i really need someone to review the *DEMO, when i can just as easily download it, try it, like it/hate it/delete it when i'm done? not to mention the fact that it's *SOMEONE ELSE'S OPINION, who probably has drastically different tastes than i do.

for another example: it is hip and trendy to hate on Lair. reviewers and the media alike love to trash this game as a debacle, and the epitome of crappy game design/controls. personally, *I REALLY LIKE Lair. i enjoyed myself, despite some frustration while learning the controls.

while people were b*tching about the length of the Heavenly Sword demo, i was too busy marveling at, overall, how damn *FUN the time i had with it was. i've played through that demo repeatedly, learning the nuances of the battle system (thus far), and i'm eager to get the finished product.

reviewing demos, for *ANY system, is one of the most absurd things i think i've ever seen coming from the gaming media on the net. it's just... *POINTLESS, really.

i mean, if you're too lazy to download the demo yourself, then something is seriously wrong with you (those that don't have internet connections are exempt, of course, but if that was they case, they wouldn't be on this site reading this exemption, so my point still stands, really).

demos are awesome they kick @$$ .... ratchet and clank future demo? PLEASE

[mighty_douche]

sorry im a ps3 owner and dont seem to know the meaning of the word d...e....m...o.... is it new or something?

[IRISHCALIBER]

...especially when the game isn't releasing for months. I know I check the Marketplace daily for unannounced Demo releases, still patiently waiting for Two Worlds to arrive. I'm currently Beta Testing the Call of Duty 4 Demo and it's fantastic!! But lets face it when it come down to the service that provides this thrilling experience it's not PSN we should be talking about, it's XBOX LIVE. This is a service that delivers new content to it's members daily, and I have yet to be disappointed with it's features. So quit cryin if your out of the loop, just hop on board you won't be let down.
