This demo became available via the Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Network on December 17. The first Army of Two didn’t offer alternative control schemes, but this time around a Southpaw option has been included, surprisingly. Firing a weapon can also be mapped to either the left or right trigger. Read the rest…

This sandbox game from Pandemic does not support Southpaw or Legacy and only offers the ability to invert the Y axis. You’ll have to make do with the default button layouts for navigating, shooting, driving and brawling as well since these aren’t configurable.

When unarmed, movement controls are similar to RE5’s “Type A” scheme in that the left analog stick is used for moving forward and turning left/right, while the camera is controlled with the right stick.

This may not be an issue for some, though problems will arise once a weapon is equipped. Read the rest…

A2M’s WET will arrive on retail shelves next week, though a demo has been floating around on the Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Network for a while now.

Unfortunately, Southpaw and Legacy controls were not present in the demo. The options for the full game, in all likelihood, won’t be any different.

Sorry, folks. At least ODST isn’t too far off.
