Demo: Bulletstorm.

If you didn't know, I've been looking forward to this game since it was featured at E3.

It looked great from day one.  Like a B-Movie inspired shooter where simply shooting people doesn't cut it.  By using combinations of moves, weapons, and environmental hazards, the player is encouraged to "Kill with Skill."  Add to that the fact that the voice actor for the main character is the same guy who played Onizuka in the English Dub of GTO, and the fact that the dialogue sounds like it was written by Troy Duffy of Boondock Saints fame (Notable Example: "You Scared the Dick off Me!").  The game just looked too good to be true, and I worried it would not end up as good as it looked in the E3 demo.

I played the public Demo the day after it was released, and I can happily report that my fears were unfounded.  Bulletstorm is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, even for the 6 minute stretch the demo gives you to play.  I played through it repeatedly, and found a new way to bust up the baddies every time.  It's insanely satisfying when you pull off a kill so complicated and devastating that even your character sounds impressed, or just laughs out loud at the ridiculousness of it.  Long story short, play the demo, and if you are like me, you will be picking up Bullet Storm ASAP after it's February 22 release.

Here's some highlights from the demo.

And some hilarious commercials poking fun at other games in the genre.
