My big problem right now is that everyone on the internet, including Penny Arcade, seems to have the latest Official Xbox Magazine, with what is perhaps the greatest demo disc ever. This disc has demos for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Conker: Live and Reloaded, and a Live-enabled demo of Unreal Championship 2. Now I actually have the demo for Unreal Championship 2, because I picked it up from EB the other day, and let me tell you, it's amazing. The speed, the melee combat, it all fits together quite well, and is extremely fun. The game has the rare chance to actually wipe the memory of the first Unreal Championship (which IMHO was not very good) from everyone's collective consciousness, which can only be described as a good thing.
But back to the point: the demo for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is out there and I do not have it in my hands. I cannot wait for this game, and not being able to play the demo of the magnificent game that I saw last E3 is tearing me up inside. I want to play it, I want to see what the Ubisoft guys have been cooking up for the past 2 years, and I definitely want to see what new tricks and the like Sam Fisher has now in his arsenal. Hopefully fortune will smile upon me and manage to help me stumble across one sometime in the next week, at which point everyone here will get a chance to hear me wax on and on about this game, since from everything I've heard, the game is going to be a true breakthrough in the series, and for games everywhere.
Oh well, back to waiting…I guess another week can't hurt me that much.
