    Gamers need not apply. This one is for the arty folk out there. Add five points to the final score if you fit into that category.

    There was huge scope for something here, but we can't help shake the feeling that someone got involved at the wrong stage and changed what could have been an impressive technical example of the PS3's graphics muscle into a rudimentary, almost insultingly basic joystick tester - as a demo it's great, but would have benefited from remaining a demo. Budbrain Megademo, all is forgiven.

It's a cheap, quick trophy set, and an interesting demoscene project - exactly the things it should be!… Full Review »
