Yep, you read that title right. It’s the little things that make a game great, and there’s nothing more insignificant than a lift (or an elevator, of you’re one of them…). So, by that flawed logic, which game has the most iconic lifts? We’ve looked high and low (get it?) for games with memorable metal transport boxes in (there are very few), and complied a list of the best, and possibly only, 10.

Demo on the way for Bad Company 2

Posted in EA, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags , , on January 13, 2010 by James Love

As written in our Bad Company 2 preview, “BF: BC 2 is shaping up to be more than a match for Infinity Ward’s MW2,” and after our experience with the beta, it’s hard not to be impressed.

For those of you who weren’t lucky enough to get a go with it, despair no longer, as the Battlefield Blog have announced that a demo is on the way for consoles, but the date is still to be announced, but expect it to drop in February before the launch of the game.

Bad Company 2 releases March 5th on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
