I tried the H.A.W.X 2 demo... hopefully the game is a little more lively...
Controls are so-so, and 4 minutes (it's timed, and you get it right before the time runs out) to get in position and refuel? no thank you (it was on my watchlist, I guess it will be on my "may-rent-or-not" list.
Also tried NHL for a good 5 minutes... and gave up. I hadn't play any hockey game since probably NHL 98 (yeah, that long), and well, I am a little fuzzy on how to play. I want to give it another try, though, because I remember how much fun I had on that game.
Personal opinion: Joe Danger is great, and deserve a look if you haven't tried it yet.
I have been playing Scott Pilgrim, lately... old-school fun! not perfect (loading times are killing me), but definitely worth the 10 bucks I spent on it.
