That Dark Messiah of Might And/Or Magic demo we mentioned last week was released with great fanfare yesterday. Partly because it's a swell demo featuring a beautiful graphics engine, some extremely fun gameplay and the ratio perfection of chocolate-to-peanut-butter in how much RPG Arkane swirled into its FPS. But more largely because the 30 minute demo is an astonishing 1.4 gigs. That last sentence should be followed by a slurry of exclamation points and perhaps the muffled internal pop of your heart exploding.

But if you've got the pipe, go download it, because it's a lot of fun. I spent about thirty minutes just firing flaming arrows at things to see if they caught on fire. There were no small children about, making it an inaccurate simulacrum of my life, but otherwise, all good!
