[quote name='thrustbucket']I'm really hoping this ends up being the sleeper surprise of the season.[/quote]

It's the 360's Max Payne. It'll get great reviews, it'll be a blast to play.. but it'll get old.
 
[quote name='Slackerchan']Its up right now. Its 1.28gb just so everyone knows.[/QUOTE]
Downloading now. Hope it's good...
 
I might just have to rent this one, games fun as hell, but I dont know about replaying it. Blowing shit up everywhere and the massive amounts of guys is fun. -thumbs up-
 
Damn, 2:01 AM huh? I should have checked went to bed about 20 mins later. Grrr. Could have played before work.
 
That demo was a lot of fun. Definitely going to be picking this one up. Though I'll be getting the PS3 version since I want the movie too.
 
DAAAAAYYYYYYUUUUMMM this game is awesome. Stranglehold makes Max Payne look like Bad Boys Miami Takedown. The game looks great, controls great, feels great, and sounds great. The demo is nice and long too. I can definitely see myself playing through this demo many times, which is rare for me. I had a huge grin on my face the whole time.

I pulled off an AWESOME feat a minute ago. I was fighting in an area with a lot of tables and little shops full of fruit and such. There was a propane tank sitting on a table and some guys running near it. I had a bad judgement of distance and I was too close to the blast. As soon as I shot it, I realized that I was way too close to it. I quickly ran backwards to try to escape the blast. As soon as that propane tank went off, I slid backwards onto the table in slow motion as the explosion took out three guys. It looks sooooo fuckin' cool.

Shooting guys in the face and balls with precision aiming = amazing.
 
People gettin me all riled up at work. This sounds too awesome. I've been holding my breath on this one.
 
I had no interest in the game until I played the demo. Not a day 1 purchase for me since I will have other stuff to play at that time, but I will definately pick it up soon after it comes out as I loved the demo. The only small knock I have aganist the game is that the controls could use a little fine tuning.

Ah, guess I just am not that observant. lol
 
Pretty cool game. Doubt I'd pay full price for it, but I was expecting much worse. The PS3 SE is pretty tempting though.
