While it sounds much less of an accomplishment when put into the context of "one million downloads between PS3, 360, and PC", it's still interesting to note a game that would have otherwise been widely ignored has gotten such attention. We ask, why? The answer, we would presume, is the debacle with GameTrailers a while back, comparing the two titles between 360 and PS3, but using PS3 footage by mistake for the whole thing. Maybe that's not the reason -- maybe it's that good. Have you tried the demo? What did you think?
