Just about a month ago, the world -- and yours truly -- got its first look at Bulletstorm, the new FPS project coming out of Epic Games in partnership with EA. Today I got my hands on it behind closed doors at EA's booth and I have to say: The demo was every bit as fun (and over-the-top) to play as I hoped it would be.

After a short briefing video going over the controls and basic concept of skill shots (which, like the demo itself, was peppered with salty language), I was dropped right into a firefight on the planet Elysium. It quickly went from a pretty FPS to a fresh, furious and utterly sadistic FPS that had me concerned I was cackling out loud in the presence of developer People Can Fly. Actually, I'm pretty sure I was.
