Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit Demo Online
Looking to get your hand on the first Dragon Balls on the PS3 and Xbox 360? Atari has a demo up on Xbox Live right now for Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, the series' first foray onto the current crop of cutting-edge consoles. The demo weighs in at under 500 megs and features two battles from the game's story mode, Goku versus long-haired guy and other long-haired guy versus those little green things. Yep, I am definitely up on my DBZ terminology. The demo is currently available on Xbox Live and should be up on PSN later today, Sony willing. While you wait, a metric ass-ton of screenshots.

Lego Indiana Jones Site Unearthed
LucasArts has gone all out for the official website of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. The flash heavy site is chock full of news, game info, screenshots, concept art, and even a nifty trailer for your enjoyment. The site also contains a nifty little treasure hunt, where you can click on treasures hidden throughout the pages for points to use in the downloads section towards stickers, wallpapers, coloring pages, avatars, and eventually ringtones...though I must admit that I already have the theme saved to my phone. PC Gamers might also want to take note of the Games For Windows hosted demo for the game, due out May 13th. Follow the link below to check out the Indy gaming scene.

"The amazing creations players design this summer will help populate the game universe we all enter when Spore ships this September, so in a sense, the Spore Creature Creator is the birth of Spore."The demo version will also be available in The SimCity Box, due out June 23rd. Would you spend $9.99 for a tiny slice of Spore? It just feels like an entirely new form of preemptive microtransaction to me.

Too Much World For A Fallout 3 Demo
There are several reasons not to have a demo for your game in this demo-hungry period of gaming history. There are time constraints that come into play, not wanting people to know your game sucks before it comes out, and in the case of Fallout 3, just too much world to hack off a piece.
"When you build it as one thing, there's no way to portion off a section and have it stand on its own without putting the whole game in the demo, which we're just not going to do," said Hines. "And it doesn't really capture the fun of a game like an Elder Scrolls or a Fallout, where you can go where you want and do what you want. So no demo, sorry."It's like eating a strawberry off the top of a cake. Sure, it tastes great, but there is no way you'd know how the whole cake tastes just from eating a strawberry...and what if you're allergic to strawberries? Instead of picking it off and moving on, you'd assume the whole cake has strawberries? And what if you took an analogy too far? That's when you toss out three new screens and hightail it out of there.

Download the God of War: Chains of Olympus Demo
I've been playing (replaying parts) of God of War: Chains of Olympus on the Playstation Portable for a week or so now and so far it strikes me as one of the best games to hit the system to date. I'm about five hours in, nearing the end of the game, I believe, and there's really not much to complain about. Sure, it's God of War on a PSP, but what more would you expect? Yes, a review is coming Monday.
If you didn't get the free Demo on UMD when it came out, you can still grab it directly over on the Playstation Store. I point this out because the downloadable demo isn't exactly easy to find and some of you may not have realized it's out there.

zack & wiki
We told you to go buy Zack & Wiki. Some of you listened. You have our thanks. Everyone else, though, you're a great disappointment. Not just to your fellow Wii owners, but to Capcom as well, who have had to go to the trouble of throwing together a free, Wii-friendly flash demo of the game, just so you can see what all the fuss is about.

Dreamcast Demo For You To Worship At
Oh fuck yes. We don't like to post eBay things, but this auction is so over and so awesome. That is a UK Sega Dreamcast demo kiosk that's in fully working condition with the original monitor. The DC console itself is region free. Says the seller:
There is nothing more striking and impressive for a collector or gaming fan to have. In the dark it glows a beautiful neon blue colour when turned on, as you can see in the pictures. This really is the ultimate Dreamcast collector's item.
Don't think of this as simply a "collector's item," but a shrine. Or better yet, an altar.

LEGO Indiana Jones Demo Shipping with New Indy DVDs
All three special editions DVDs of the Indiana Jones trilogy will be shipping with both a demo and trailer for the upcoming LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures game, Ars Technica reports.
Fantastic, now I have two excuses to buy Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I wonder when I can start showing my son the flicks? I'll have to rewatch them to make sure they're not too racy first, I guess.

Capcom dropped us a line late yesterday to let us know that the Xbox Live demo of Devil May Cry 4 reached one million downloads back on the 9th of February. This means that the demo averaged 25,000 downloads a day since its release on January 24th, making it one of the fastest downloads to reach the million mark in Xbox Live history, as well as the first demo released this year to reach such a lofty number. Now to see how many of those demo downloading peoples actually went out to the store and picked up the game. Me? I rented, skeptical that the game was simply more of the same. Enjoying it so far, but not quite "buy" enjoying it.

PS3 Lost Planet Demo Yanked Due To Technical Problems
Normally this would be the part where I ask you how you're all enjoying your PS3 demo of Lost Planet, but hey, not many of you were, and that's the whole point of this post. No sooner had the multiplayer demo launched on the PlayStation Store last week than complaints started coming in from users unable to connect to lobbies and get multiplayer games going. Obviously these problems were widespread enough for Capcom to pull the demo entirely, and even if you have got the game working, sorry, the servers are down too until a new version of the demo's released. Not the best of news for Capcom, then, but at least they seem to be able to see the funny side of things.Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Demo Update [PlayStation.Blog]
THE CLUB - OK, PC owners, you can quit with the sad-puppy-eyes. Your version of a demo for Bizarre's The Club is now available at pretty much every major spot you'd normally visit for demos. It's just under 2GB, and since nothing's changed since the PS3/360 one, it's still a hoot.
