First 10 minutes of gameplay - videos

We're all fans of the "try before you buy" principle, and sometimes a demo just won't do. Fortunately, some chaps over at XboxyDE have created videos showing the first 10 minutes of gameplay from several launch titles:

• Kameo (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)
• Condemned
• PGR3

They're hefty downloads but might be worth a look if you're in two minds about a title.

[Update: IGN also has the first eight minutes of Perfect Dark Zero available to watch. Thanks, Don]

It's time for the fanboys to unite. As we've been hearing over the past 24 hours, many of our usual online friends were not able to secure Xbox 360s yesterday. So, it's time to make some new friends (besides, the guys over at Joystiq won't accept our friend requests).

Continuing its long history (3 days now) of bringing gamers together, Xbox 360 Fanboy is providing some bandwidth for you to add your Xbox live gamertag, your zone and your list of 360 games to the comments below.

We'll go first:

Gamertag: Master Rogue (yes, it's lame. So, no need to waste valuable gaming time commenting on the obvious).

MetaReview: Project Gotham Racing 3

1UP's review of Bizarre Creation's racer is stirring up all the interwebs. Why? Because they've bestowed upon it a rare 10/10. Most of the other reviews aren't as positive but it still looks to be a very strong launch title.

• GameSpot (8.8/10): "It's no exaggeration to call the sense of speed and kinetic energy generated by [the in-car] viewpoint a visceral thrill unlike practically anything we've ever played."
• IGN (8.8/10): "As a launch title for Xbox 360? Hell, this is without hesitation on my top five list. It's a no-brainer, must-have launch title."
• 1UP (10/10): "There's very little to complain about in PGR3. It's more immersive than any other racer out there."

Based on a total of 8 reviews, Project Gotham Racing 3 has scored an impressive 89%.

GameFly's most popular 360 rentals

Filed under: News, Call of Duty 2, Condemned, Dead or Alive 4, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, GUN, Madden NFL 06, Perfect Dark, Project Gotham Racing 3, Quake 4, Need For Speed Most Wanted

GameFly's top 10 most requested Xbox 360 titles as of Nov. 15 are:

1. Call of Duty 2
2. Perfect Dark Zero
   
3. Quake 4
4. GUN
5. Need for Speed: Most Wanted
6. Dead or Alive 4
7. Condemned: Criminal Origins
8. Project Gotham Racing 3
9. Madden NFL 06
10. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Does this seem like an accurate representation of what 360 buyers are looking for?  If so, it's heavy on the FPS and light on the Kameo.  Is Rare's title already forgotten?
