Marketplace just pinged us, you can grab yourself a demo of the longest naming title of 2010!
The guys over at Rare headed up the Xbox Live Marketplace lettings us know that you’ll be able to take to the wheel with Banjo in the demo.
Yes, not only are Banjo and Kazooie set to appear in the final Xbox 360 version of the game, as of today you’ll be able to get an early feel for the spin of their wheels by downloading the free demo. It’s the first incidence of playable Banjo and Kazooie since Nuts & Bolts (or Banjo-Tooie on XBLA if you want to be picky) so it’s definitely worth franchise fans seizing this opportunity with both hairy paws.
We got our mucky pours on a preview build of the game a couple of months ago and I must say it is rather enjoyable! It’s a free demo of course, so what are you waiting for?

[EDIT] Just turned out that the PSN date is only for the US, expect it on the same day as the Xbox360 release in the UK.
Obviously not the holiday program your after here, it’s actually a romantic night out with a demon slayer or would you just prefer a demo for Dante’s Inferno?
Well then, December is about to get hot with the release of a demo for Dante’s Inferno. You’ll be fighting through hell by at least the 10th December as the demo will be hitting the Playstation Network and later on Christmas Eve for you X-boxers!
In the demo of Dante’s Inferno, players are introduced to Dante Alighieri’s re-imagined past as a crusader who returns home to Florence to discover his true love, Beatrice, murdered. As her soul escapes her body, she is kidnapped by the dark shadow form of Lucifer. Sworn to her rescue, Dante must journey to the Gates of Hell and beyond to battle undead monstrosities, unholy boss demons, and Death himself. Offering a glimpse into the vast world of Dante’s Inferno, the demo serves as a prelude to the player’s perilous journey to the inner bowels of hell.
Key Dates then:
PSN: 10th December
Xbox Marketplace: 24th December
Release: 5th February
You will be happy to know that you will be able to shoot more people in the face while looking remotely attractive on December 3rd, with the Bayonetta Demo.
SEGA of America Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. can today announce that a demo for the much anticipated third person action title BAYONETTA will be released on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network in the US and across Europe on December 3rd.
I’ve heard good things about this Bayonetta game, so it’s a wealthy date to put in my heavily masculine man diary.
Microsoft has just announced this month’s Games on Demand releases, It’s a good line-up although they still need to fix the god awful price tags!
Dates and the titles:
- 13th October: GTA IV
- 20th October: Sonic Unleashed, Midnight Club: LA, Army of Two
- 27th October: Dead Space, Colin-McCrae DiRT.
