OXM is a waste of money. You get a garbage magazine with old news and some rubbish demos. Go to XBox Live and download all the demos for free and get all the best gaming news on the internet. Gaming magazines mainly get their news from the net or make stuff up to sell magazines.
Official Playstation Magazine is also a waste of money and I would rather get my news from the internet. Official console magazines are shrills in the gaming industry and give biased news and biased reviews.

It seems that people like that TH-demo, so i doubt its that bad. Must downloaaad it soon.

The Worst is Vampire Rain, god damnit! And from jap store that sick Zegapain or something like that.

Wow, this is just idiotic, OXM embarrasses itself once again.
Anyone who thinks Too Human is one of the worst demos on X360 obviously hasn't played like 100 other game demos.

Personally, I think the Too Human demo is GOOD, but even if OXM thinks it's not, is it really worse than:

- America's Army: True Soldiers
- Armored Core 4
- At World's End
- Beautiful Katamari (the demo lasts 5 minutes)
- Bee Movie
- Blacksite: Area 51
- Bladestorm
- Blazing Angels
- Blazing Angels 2
- Blitz: The League
- Cars
- Clive Barker's Jericho
- Conan
- Conflict: Denied Ops
- Crash Of The Titans
- Crash Time

That's 16 games that have much worse demos than Too Human just by going from A to C and ignoring the other 23 letters of the alphabet.

Does OXM really think the Too Human demo is worse than all 16 of those?

OXM is going to look really stupid when Too Human ends up with a Metacritic score in the 70-85 range...



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

I am suprised that the Blue Dragon demo didn't make that list

Trashing Too Human must be the new "it" thing in the videogaming world this month.

A lot of people have been playing the TH demo. Just look at Major Nelson's live chart. As many have said, there much worse demos than that. I try not to get the bad demos.
