Make sure you check out the Bourne Conspiracy demo on Xbox Live (available late last week) - what a smooth fighting engine, great combos and easy to understand action gameplay. I'm very excited for this title, but I hope they fix the driving elements. After playing GTAIV for so long now, I can't believe they would even release demo content like that. If anyone remembers the old 007 PS1 games, thats what the driving stage reminds me of; Quick Time Events or not. Speaking of QTE, similar to the long time classic Shenmue, the game features a bunch of QTE to initate different "Bourne Moves" (rolling under gates, dodging sniper fire), the best part is if you screw up or die, the next time the button you pressed may not be the same. That means you have to pay attention when you go through that gate again otherwise you'll be redoing the same checkpoint repeatedly.
Notes:
-Rental Gamer crew is steadily climbing the ranks in GTAIV's online environment. Anyone wishing to join us, as always, add JunoMRPB to your XBL Friends list.
-Rainbow Six Vegas 2 seemed to fall off the map recently. An afternoon spent playing a private game with friends was a refreshing change from the senseless GTA violence but some of us felt stuck in the "GTA Mode" where run and gun was key.
-A new Gears of War 2 trailer hit XBL Marketplace this past week. Check it out.
