Squid of Man

The chaps at Joystiq have been wined and dined by Microsoft over the past couple of days, and in the process were shown a lot of demos of the first batch of (hopefully) must-have games for the 360.

That news in of itself is not very exciting. The following is. Rumours of a Dead Rising demo on Xbix Live have been swimming around for a few days now, so they straight-up asked Microsoft when we'd be seeing one.

The response?

"Next week, probably, but maybe earlier."

Fucking awesome.

Gears of War, Pro Evo, etc all look nice, but one game made me get off my arse and buy a 360, and Dead Rising was it. So it's a week at most until I find out whether that $750 could have been better spent on...better things.
