So I'm not sure exactly how valid some of my impressions can be as they relate to the final build. Because of that I won't go into much detail on those things. Continue on to read some general thoughts on the game/demo and check out...

The BIGS 2 Demo Impressions
The demo for The BIGS 2 was released yesterday for the 360. No word on when it will be reaching the PS3 but within the next couple Thursdays would be likely.

Coming off The BIGS, one of my favorite sports games of this generation, hopes are high for the sequel. Just some initial impressions from the short time playing it so far the first being the ingenious strategical ele...
