Not that surprise the demo was awfully mediocre... save £20 and get stranglehold.

As a guitarist I never really understood why someone would mash buttons and pretend to play a guitar when they could for similar prices go out and get an Ibanez starter kit for £100. That or take that estimated $500 and buy your self a Vintage SG and take a picture of it and post it to the CEO of activision.

With this one it all depends on the reviews if it scores an 8.5 or more average I will get it, october brings 2 first day buys for me and Im not willing to spend another £40 unless I get that impulse in game looking at the box covers... :( that feeling has given games like shadowrun at full price.

Im currently putting together PC's at work and am very tempted in setting one up for my self, so far the best performance/price pc I have to together is the following:

- AMD Phenom II X4 955 OC to 3.6GHz with a Sunbeam CCF cooler (27c - 56c)

- Asus 785g EVO motherboard -Corsair Dominator 2x2 DDR3 1600MHz

-2x 500GB Western Digital Cavair Black 32MB Cache (RAID0)

-BFG GTX 285 c: 712 m: 2664

-Coolermaster Storm Scout

-OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w PSU

Currently where selling them for £1150 in store, But if your tech savy then you should be able to get the same setup for £200+ less and go for it it really doesn't flinch with any game I've thrown, even with Crysis(1.2) with 2xAA 1680*1050 averages 35/40FPS.

I would definetely go with AMD's phenom II quad cores at the moment they are a steal and outperform stock I7's for £100 less! also dont bother with the "future proof" mumbo jumbo anyone with a head above their shoulders should know that when it comes to hardware you buy whats best price and performance wise not what the future holds for your chosen socket/motherboard.

I'll believe it when I test them out personaly after many years in this industry I have to say it happens every time yet somehow people always fall for the hype of fake tests results im seriously getting tired of this. Endless links to forums and blogs till eventualy it ends up in a rumour section of actaul hardware site... if anyone has knows its them, wait 2-3 months then compare thses benchmarks to the actual benchmarks from reviews.

English is not my first language I appologise.
