MTV Multiplayer writes: "Game demos are typically a controlled experience, even if you're holding the controller. A public relations figure tells you where to go, what to do and points out features. It can take away from the experience of actually playing.

Blair Herter announces the winner of G-Phoria '09 Game Most Deserving of a Uwe Boll Movie. Nominees include 'Golden Axe: Beast Rider', 'Castlevania Judgment', 'Legendary', 'Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayer' and 'X-Blades'.
NOTHING deserves a Uwe Boll movie. That guy is simply atrocious at everything he does. I can't believe how he can make a move so stupid, I'm not kidding I got sick after watching House of the Dead. It's like he actually wants to fail. A monkey with a camera and 10 bucks can make a better movie than this guy.
I've already seen an Onechanbara movie. Made in Japan and campy as hell but I enjoyed it thou :)
it looks interesting, but im hoping for a demo so i can try it out for myself. if theres no demo, i guess i go by reveiws it it scores 80 plus ill probaly buy it. (though wasnt turok rated 80 something, but it sucked horribly)
