DarkZero: It seems Microsoft have gone a bit demo crazy today, as three new demos have just appeared on Xbox Live. All the demos are Xbox Live Gold only though, so there is something to complain about if feel you need to. However, we'd rather complain that too many games beginning with the letter "W" are getting release lately.
From Xfire: "Video game enthusiast and Hollywood superstar, Vin Diesel, has taken his talents to video games numerous times. We've decided to rank all of his games from the worst to the best."

Butcher Bay was great. From the prolog, fist fighting, knife fights and story. The immersion of the whole package really uped the criteria of what a cutting edge game was back then. I would like another adventure with Riddick, but it would have to be triple A status to live up to Butcher Bay.
Hardcore Gamer: Despite the fact that hundreds of games release every year, the vast majority tend to go ignored by the gaming populace at large. Whether this is a failing of marketing, critical drubbing or just not living up to the expansive heights that we as gamers crave, the bargain bins are littered with titles that go unnoticed or maligned. With Lowered Expectations, we scrape the craggy underbelly of releases gone by to see if a change of perspective can reveal something worthwhile.
I played this game when it released on 360 and I actually enjoyed it. The game was super short but it was really cool bending the bullets and all that. I was thinking of picking it up for PS3 so I can get the Platinum trophy. I am sure the game is super cheap now.

One of my favorites was in Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The way Link was able to traverse the map by shifting into the wall was fun, and challenging in some spots.
