Deadly Premonition coming to Games on Demand next week
Rising Star’s announced that Swery cult thriller Deadly Premonition is coming to Games on Demand for 360 on July 5. That’s next week for those who can’t keep count. The game got absolutely mixed reviews when it launched last year: IGN gave it a two, yet D’Toid gave it a ten. That wait for Swery’s next game just probably got a whole lot shorter.
