this should be good

Actually i found it to be an awful game very rare anyone talks if they do its in chinese.

Takes days to lvl yes when you reach lvl 10 you begin the biggest grind ever.

Everyone runs around in the same armour and you all look the same each other.

Stay clear.

Yep its free but you'll be downloading patches for hours only for about an hour later to uninstall the game wish you could get those 3-4 hours of your life back and do something else.

dont have a 360 do ya?

The demos are free to download over live, as are a few game trailers ect. Think atm theres Demo's of Kameo, NBA 06, and NFS:MW. Theres trailers for alot more game. Theres trails of all the xbox arcade games too, there free too.
MS only charge for thing that you would usualy get charged for, like extra content in a game, new icons for your profile, music, Arcade games ect, and even then its like £1 - £3 or something.

yeah its all stuff thats available from live to download free, but like i said i cant buy a hard drive for my 360 at the mo so i cant download 500 meg kameo demo for example even tho i really wanna try it out ^^

so it woulda been nice if they included a dvd of all the demos available free from xbox live

I do actually, and yes there are feebies, but the majority of stuff is being charged for. And no its not stuff I would expect to pay for.

tbh i have to admit i didn't expect to have to pay if i wanted to change my gamertag thing
