My brother has been busy downloading demos for the Sony PS3, so much so that within the span of 45 minutes, I’ve experienced robot combat, clunky barbarian swordplay, gangsta-rapper style beatdowns, shooting people for sport, and slicing and dicing people as a black samurai.

Yup, the demos were for Armored Core 4, Conan, Def Jam Icon, The Club and Afro Samurai, in that order. While I get easily bored with complex control schemes (Armored Core) and half-baked combat (Conan), I liked Afro Samurai the best.

While Conan had that whole God of War thing going on, the chap looked and moved like a Neanderthal. Afro on the other was really cool and had some slick moves going. The gameplay segment was pretty short but the demo itself had quite a bit of cutscenes to give you a glimpse of the story behind the black samurai.

I’m pretty much sold on the tofu-cutting violence. Anyone selling a secondhand copy for cheap? Interested buyer here :). Those wanting to look for new copies of the game or even theĀ  animated movie starring Ron Perlman and Samuel L. Jackson, check out Play-Asia’s product page here.
