If you're looking for something to liven up the demo section of your Xbox 360 this Thanksgiving 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.

Left 4 Dead PC Demo 4 Everyone
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. More » -

Left 4 Dead Pre-order Only Demo Kicks Off On Steam Nov. 6
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. More »
