its been on the PS Store for a while, which is how I played it. Be prepared for some of the stupidest AI you've ever encountered, aside from "boss" fights.

Darkness demo is up, I didn't see DW:Gundam though.

That's a staple of the series though.
The only characters that block are the bosses.
The main troopers' best skill is dying.

I had sworn off the series, but the inclusion of Gundam has my interest.
At least for a free demo, right?

i never really enjoyed the dynasty series....

but the darkness is fun. but i've kind of gone off uber gore games recently.

I love the Dynasty Warriors series of games, but I got a little tired of it. Making everything Giant robots sounds good to me! So, yeah, I will buy it.

So they're taking 1 of the most mediocre game franchises ever and 1 of the absolutely worst game franchises ever, throwing them in a blender and getting this?

Yeah, that sounds like a winner.

Say what you will about the Dynasty Warriors series, but it sells in droves in Japan. I also believe, of its type, it still is the most fun, better then Drakengard by far and more enjoyable then 99 knights. Also much better in about every way then the Kingdoms Under Fire seires in my opinion. Despite all that, I pretty much stopped playing it after DW 4 because it was all just the same thing recycled, so while I can't argue with it being a mediocre series, before it became more of the same, it was very fun and giving a twist by making everything Gundum interests me enough.

For some reason all those lame components add up to something that appeals to me. Maybe its because Gundam is known for scenes where the hero cuts through legions of bad guys and only finds resistance from the enemies who have any character.

Plus, I have a soft spot for giant robots.

Didn't find the Gundam demo, the Darkness demo wasn't in the games/new arrivals for me. I had to go into the demos/new arrivals. Theres also a Juiced 2 demo.
