I was a little disappointed with the MGR demo, for most of the reasons you highlighted (this is coming from a guy who loves both Metal Gear and hack and slash games). I expected more, and while I don't mind the parry system I don't like how it has been implemented. Then there's the enemies. I danced around some of the rocket enemies and I didn't find them to be very reactive. There were plenty of windows for me to strike them. This would never occur in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 or 2 for instance. I'll keep playing it to see if it grows on me, but at this point I think my February money is going towards Sly instead and I'll get this game when it is cheaper. It is only a demo, so I won't judge the game based on that, and I heard the 'dodge' ability is in the final product.
Dead Space 3. I played it once on coop so I don't think I'm qualified to say anything about the 'horror feel'. After I played the single player portion I'll return and post.

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS
