Xbox 360 fans are going to have to waith though, as it won't be available to download from Xbox live today as promised.

A spokesperson said, "We do not want 360 people waiting up for the demo or having false expectations. The 360 demo will not appear on Marketplace tonight.

"I'm still waiting for specifcs, but I'm being told that it's still in testing at Microsoft. From what I understand this isn't Microsoft's fault, and is more likely just an issue of timing.

"I'm hesitant to give any estimates for a release, but I've been told it should be reasonably soon after the PC release, but could be as long as a few days."

Point Blank coming on DS

Friday 16 Jun 2006 : 12:21 PM



One of our favourite ever arcade shooting games gets it's DS release in the U.S. today and will hit the UK soon.

For those of you that haven't played the originals, this is a gun game with a difference. It's basically a series of Bishi Bashi/Wario Ware type mini-games played with a gun and it has a fantastic sense of humour.

The good news is that it includes wireless play with a single card , 'free play' so you can play any stage whenever you want and conversions of many of the leves from the classic coin-op versions.

The bad new is that U.S. reviews so far have been a little luke-warm, but we shouldn't have to wait long to find out if they're right or not.
