TIP OF THE DAY: Yeah, yeah... I keep spacin' it. I will remember to add these puppies everyday eventually!

Today's tip: In GTA: Vice City, the best way to get money is to buy the car dealership and collect the cars posted on the wall. If you've already done that, you can make $30,000 per race if you do the longest track on the racing game (which is also at the car dealership)


DEMO FEVER!

Yep... your old pal the Samurai has been downloadin' stuff left and right to check out the latest games (I'd buy the latest games... but I'm broke... so Demos it is!)


HOT ROD: AMERICAN STREET DRAG

Unfortunately, the demo to this game blows. You might as well skip it unless you wanna see the commercials for the full game that look pretty decent.

In the full version, you can buy an old junker, tweak it out and race it... in this one, you drag race one lap... and that's all she wrote. The screens off of 3DMark were more exciting!

I used to play Street Rod 2 back in the DOS days, and it was a freakin' blast because you could tweak out a car you bought it the paper with all kinds of cool parts.

I'd like to say it's a cool game... but the demo just doesn't go far enough...

INSTALL: Demo requires a reboot upon install.

Verdict: Could go either way. Demo is too small to tell...


CALL OF DUTY: Dawnville Demo

This game kicks some serious ass. WWII missions worthy of the movies!

The Demo left me droolin' for more. Basically, my advice is when you don't think you need an anti-tank round... go get one. They show up at the worst times!

At it's easiest setting, you'll be able to do a frag-fest worthy of Unreal Tournament. At it's hardest, keep your ass DOWN, make sure you're always hidin' behind something and Billy, don't be a hero!

INSTALL: Nice and easy!

Verdict: Lock the doors, unplug the phone and call into work dead... this game kills!


PIGGY POLICE:

10 minutes of gameplay for the demo... all in all, if you liked "Hogan's Ally", this one is for you. No real plot, shoot the wolves, don't shoot the pigs, and shoot the power-ups (automatic weapons, health, ammo) as they slide across the screen.

Not a great game, but a good time-waster.

Install: Piece o' Cake!

Verdict: Not bad... not great... but not bad.


::::Other News:::

As of November 17th, for those of you who actually own a GameCube, you can pick up "The Legend of Zelda Bundle". It contains the entire series, up to the demo for Majora's Mask (everything else is full). Sadly, I haven't seen anything else besides the remake of "Resident Evil" that really made me wanna get a GameCube really... but hey, Zelda kicks ass...

too bad I haven't seen any news of updated graphics for Zelda 1... which is probably what everyone else is looking for too!

Dude, i still have the street rod 1 that i used to play all the time back when my dad bought a computer i486, its on a floppy, were can i get a street rod 2 from, i never saw that one?

The Zelda bundle includes a full version of Majoras Mask and a demo of Wind Waker. Just thought I should put that up.

Neo, my bad... I actually knew that, but my brain coughed up the other title...

No problem man, we all have brain farts once in a while.
