Enslaved Demo Impressions

After a couple playthroughs of this demo, I’ve come to one conclusion… It tried… Basically the new game from the geniuses behind Heavenly Sword feels like it falls short in all the categories. Obviously I don’t know how the campaign experience will be but from the combat and platforming it feels like its trying to be a bunch of other games combined into one awesome experience, but it can’t quite grasp it.

Although, that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, even without the numerous leaks, the fall update has been a tradition of the almost five-year-old Xbox 360, and the company devoted a large chunk of its E3 2010 presentation to talk about the biggest additions. That includes Netflix search (which is now useful in Canada), Zune music, and an entertainment hub for ESPN (you may have heard of them). Here is the break down of the features:
