Skateboarding fans eager to experience the second game in EA's Skate series will find satisfaction in the coming week, as the company announces a Skate 2 demo for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Xbox 360 owners now get to taste the delicious flavor of large scale battles over the fate of Middle Earth as the demo for EA and Pandemic's Lord of the Rings Conquest hits Live.
Japan was gifted with a demo of From Software's upcoming Xbox 360 game Ninja Blade on Monday, and the guys at Inside Digital Foundry were nice enough to play through it for our enjoyment.
If you're looking for something to liven up the demo section of your Xbox 360 this weekend, the newly released Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 demo may fit the time-killing bill. The free demo for the real-time strategy game from Electronic Arts is now on Xbox Live Marketplace. Included is the game's cinematic opening, one campaign mission each from the Soviet and Allied campaigns, and an interactive tutorial. It's available worldwide, for that realistic global conflict feeling. Warning: The Red Alert 3 demo may not actually feature full motion video of Gina Carano in leather short shorts as indicated by this post's lead in picture.
Japanese gaming mag Famitsu has revealed that Xbox 360 owners will be getting a special holiday treat next week, as a co-op demo for Capcom's Resident Evil 5 drops on Friday, December 5th.
What is this? 'Try out new portable games via a short Flash demo week'?

This demo of Neopets Puzzle Adventure lovingly recreates the experience of playing the first level of the game on an actual DS Lite - right down to the slightly-too-many 'A' presses to skip past the plot dialogues in the game's story mode.
It is all very well presented and there are just enough embellishments to what is, essentially, the game of 'Othello' to make this curiously addictive. But don't take my word for it - try it out for yourself after the jump...
If the thought of waiting until next week for LocoRoco 2 is making you feel all wobbly, help is at hand.
The PC demo for Valve's upcoming survival horror shooter Left 4 Dead has been set free of its pre-order only constraints and is now rampaging through the computers of Steam users everywhere. I myself hadn't had a chance to play the game until the demo came out, and all I can say is oh my f***ing god. The first time you find yourself suddenly confronted with what seems like an endless stream of hungry, howling undead is one of those gaming moments that will stick with you until you're old and jaded, sitting on your space porch complaining about the latest holo-games the kids are playing. I highly recommend trying it out.
Those of us who pre-order Left 4 Dead via Valve's Steam service will be — like our console counterparts — playing the demo come next Thursday. Not tomorrow... next Thursday, Nov. 6, according to a release from the developer. That's a full five days before the demo goes live for the rest of humanity (Nov. 11), which is in turn a week before the game releases to retail (Nov. 18). Don't worry, we shan't be quizzing you about dates in the next reader exam.
