Monsters Vs. Aliens Demo Takes Over Xbox Live

Marc "DjinniMan" Allie February 23rd, 2009 at 9:33 AM    


If you watched the Super Bowl, you probably remember the Monsters Vs. Aliens ad.  It was filmed in 3D, and if you snagged a funky pair of glasses from your local convenience store, both monsters and aliens popped right out of your screen.  It has a very 50's B-Movie feel to it, which means I'll be there watching it day one, for sure.

The inevitable movie tie-in game is just around the corner, and the demo is up on Xbox Live right now.  The game does feature two player drop in drop out co-op, so we suggest you grab a buddy and try it out!  Its a clash of titans!  A war of the gargantuan!  You'll quiver in fear at the Aliens... they came from outer space!  Even the Monsters might challenge the world!  This may be the day the world ends!

Def going to give the demo a try. I will be in line to see this movie on day one I love the B movie feel that it has.

Meh....I'll wait for impressions before I watch the movie or play the game.

You're going to wait for impressions before you try the free demo?

We've entered a whole new era of laziness. No longer do we want to try our own demos and form our own opinions on them - let someone else do it.

I kid. Partially.

Well I don't have my 360 now and haven't had it since January's Co-op Night. Not cause it's dead but so I could focus more on school.

So when I said that, I meant the game cause the demo I won't touch until May and even then I'll have to catch up with my Gears 2 kills

That's funny, because the "meh" at the beginning of your post suggested otherwise. Weird.

Well, i'm just not a fan of that kind of movie like you are. I think you said you loved B-movies....
 
txshurricane at 09:33 AM on 2.24.2009

Nah, wasn't me. I don't care for too many B-movies, unless they have Bruce Campbell in them.

Yeah, it was DjinniMan. I knew whoever it was, was colored green. Maybe each staff member should have an associated color.
Bapenquin = Red cause well, he's the boss and Billy loves his daddy.
DjinniMan = Yellow, cause it goes well with his Avatar.
ShadowKat = Blue, cause blue isn't just for boys anymore
txshurricane = Green, cause I said so
pheriannath = Black, cause it goes with his top hat.
The Hedon = White, cause we don't see him anymore. He's invisible

The rest I have no clue:
AgtFox
Spigot
broodax

And you = grayed out because you'll be banned!
Just kidding, of course.

But regarding your suggestion: you have to realize that the tags and name color system that are in place here are the default of most forums and websites. So to change that up would be confusing to people that are used to the way things normally are, and you'd be defeating your purpose.

Show me a site where every staff member has a different colored name, and I'll show you a site where the staff is basically the only population. It takes a strong sense of organization to keep a site popular.

I'm sure you were being satirical, but I'm being a completist.

And your RUINING IT! LOL

But back on topic, the movie looks good. I like the part where the giant is about to fall off a building and she just grows big enough well she just places her feet on the ground.

It has a lot of satirical content, I just don't think games based on comedies are good (Ex. Family Guy, Futurama, Simpsons (is there a pattern?) )

The Simpsons has had as many good games as bad...
