No disrespect to the other contries but the U.S. are the main ones who buy such games as the demos not being released to us. Turok and The club both released somewhere else weeks before they will be released in the U.S.. This does not make any sense because the U.S. buys mostly shooting games, in my opinon the companys are not going after the right demographic.

Yeah I know The club demo is coming out tuesday.

Yeah, I'm curious about this too, although I'm sure it's been discussed before.

Turok was not released in North America due to OXM having rights to distribute it first through their magazine. The Club, I don't know probably will be in next month's OXM.

you're not missing much with either of them.

Does it matter? Just make a UK account and grab 'em that way. Though the Turok one is only for Gold atm, should be silver soon enough though.

i personally think its because they know that some of these games would get a negative reaction from fans, alot of the time it happens with games that have alot of hype built around them and they want people to just buy the game rather than play the demo , be dissapointed and say forget it

Honestly, how does that make sense? Can't everyone worldwide or let's say in the regions that said game will be available, be able to play the demo for it? How does not giving NA a demo, but Europe help sales? Wouldn't they want to maximize their profits by hitting the biggest audience of people possible?

I wouldn't worry too much about it dude, after playing the demos they dont seem like anything special. The Club is alot of fun as you're just running around shooting dudes, it's pretty old-skool but not worth busting your balls over and definately not $60 worth. I was looking forward to seeing what Turok was like but now i'm not so sure. The guns are terrible, had more fun with bow and knife. Even though alot of the stuff Turok does is pretty badass(knife kills etc), he doesn't look it, he's sort of fat and look abit on teh short side and looks like a reject from Gears of War but with not as good face textures. The frame-rate is also abit dodgey in areas, you get attacked from every direction(usually behind) so you end up trying to turn around but I found my self bumping into everything mainly because the areas are quite small and the dinosaurs being quite large especially if there is a pack.
