Devil May Cry 4 (360)
Echoing the sentiments already expressed here (and indeed across a lot of reviews) this plays fine but there's nothing noticeably next-gen about it. It feels like Capcom is playing it very safe rather than risking alienating the fans. I kind of lost interest in DMC before I'd even finished the first one though and I've yet to play the sequels (despite owning them).
Turok (360)
Depressingly generic. It's just another UE3-powered sci-fi FPS. Even the ability to dual-wield shotguns (a favourite weapon of mine) couldn't save it. I just ended up using the shotgun's alternate fire to launch a flare (which distracts all dinosaurs to a ridiculous degree) then strolling up to them to trigger the instant-kill knife attack. Didn't even finish the demo.
