Hour of Victory demo now Available
This time Midway has decided to throw their hat in the WWII FPS ring with their offering, Hour of Victory. Now you can see exactly what all the fuss has been about, because the Hour of Victory demo is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The single-player demo offers you the chance to play through one of the North African levels as any of the three heroes: The Army Ranger, a Covert Operative, and a British Commando. The big headline catcher with this game is that it’s running on the Unreal 3 Engine — the same game engine that gave us Gears of War. So we expect this game to be quite pretty.
Now, there were a few problems with the downloading of the demo last night, but I can assure you all now that the download is up and running. It’s just going pretty damn slowly, but I’m sure they’re working that problem out. So download it, and tell me what you think.

*sigh*
Turned on the ol 360. Was able to download this demo (along with the Pirates one as I have not got to it yet). Ran the Pirates demo, screen started to get all weird. Went back to the dashboard, tried the Hour of Victory demo, ti was all weird too. Restarted the machine, only to see Error 74. Google’d, waited for a bit, came back to 3 red rings again. I am still awaiting my coffin, for now, I think later today I might go to Costco to get a temporary 360 for the month (now the next question is.. should I go Elite)
