Fracture demo out next week

Fracture is not a game where one plays doctor, healing people from fractured bones and other various medical ailments ... it's another shooter. Oh, one of those. As if the holiday season didn't have enough already. However, there is one thing that makes Fracture stand out of the crowd -- the ability to manipulate the terrain around your character. That might get people to notice it amongst the other huge names that it will be competing with.

But how does "Terrain Deformation," as it's called, work? Instead of explaining it to you, why not try it out next week when the demo hits the PSN? You'll get your chance to mess around with good old dirt on Thursday, September 18 -- no shovel required. The game will release in North America on October 7 and in Europe on October 10.

This game has one of the ugliest box covers.

This one worries me, and has for quite a while. I love the actual tech involved, but I have a feeling that the premise is just going to lead to lame puzzle elements just to force the player to use the deformation. I hope that I'm wrong, but I doubt that I am.

Game is gonna suck BIG TIME

I'm not gonna judge it yet, but if it controls as poorly as the new Star Wars game, it'll blow.

While I won't cry "doom" quite yet, I do think this game is likely to be a failure in the market. It's going to be released in a very busy time, and unless it is

I for one will definitley purchase Bioshock, Fallout 3, LBP, Dead Space, and (likely) Rise of the Argonauts and Force Unleashed before I purchase Fracture. In fact, unless the demo is completely earth-shattering (see what I did there?) I very much doubt I will purchase this at all.

What's with the videogame release schedule, I just don't get it. You're telling me fracture wouldn't have sold better if it released in the first week of August? The Christmas push has *that* much of an effect? Crazy holidays.
