Demo Derby

Demo Derby: Official Xbox Magazine 011

This episode has a rating of "DD" for stealth, bandicoots, Superman villains, and No Doubt interviews. And if that doesn't make you curious, we don't know what will.

The past and the present collide as Giant Bomb digs into the dark world of old demo discs.

Laughing at confirmed lame superhero Superman's terrible antagonists was prettttttty great.

The Hitman 2 main theme is sooo good.

Hearing Dan bellow about how he doesn't understand why people like a thing he doesn't like continues to be not fun to listen to.

Damn it Dan no one likes Superman until the aliens invade then you will be damn glad it's Superman defending the planet and not some pretty boy whose super power is "a lot of money."

I'm annoyed that Jeff said Crash "doesn't handle especially well." I'm not saying that's the best game, but it handles well. Jeff is clearly not good at Crash games, I guess because he doesn't like them. Or maybe that's why he doesn't like them.

@tikicobra: I never played crash, but even back in the 90's it looked like it was awkward to control. And in a market with Rayman, Spyro, Banjo-Kazooi, and Mario it seemed lacking in personality.

I loved Psi Ops!

It's the only game that compelled me to write a user review back in the old GameSpot days.

I still go back and read it sometimes. It's pretty embarrassing and is totally in the old-review style seen in the Video Verdict section of this Demo Derby. :p

Im watching this in sept 2018. This is one of the better videos on the site. Such a chill friendly vibe which lots of laughs. Dan is himself as well as Drew and Jeff, all feeling comfortable. No 'trying hard' or forced attitudes, just genuine fun.

Ah, the era when we all THOUGHT we wanted a grimdark, self-serious Superman who fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks...

These days, I think people are more ready than ever for a gorilla that shoots kryptonite beams out of its eyes.
