But quantities are limited. Sega's offering 40,000 codes to play the Bayonetta demo early on Xbox 360, but you have to be a registered Sega Pass member to be eligible.

Here's the deal - once you register (free) for a Sega Pass, go back to this site on Nov. 9 and register to get your code. Registration for early access will be open until Nov. 13, but given the first-come, first-serve nature of this offer, my guess is it won't last that long.

Again, this offer covers the Xbox 360 version of the Bayonetta demo.

<![CDATA[Enjoy Atlantica - Or Your Money Back!]]> NDOORS Interactive thinks you will LOVE the Atlantean MMORPG Atlantica Online. In fact it is so confident that it is offering to buy back your account for $20 if you are unhappy with the game.

Sounds great, no? Well, there is a slight catch - you need to be a Level 50 character or above. Anyone know how long it takes to get to Level 50 in Atlantica? We are willing to bet it is not something you could do in an afternoon.

If you don't at least tolerate the game by around level 20 it is probably a safe bet that you will not be taking NDOORS up on their offer. If, however you are disappointed with the game and decide on a bloody-minded attempt on claiming that refund please let us know in the comments and - if you can - mail us a photograph of the grim expression on your face as you crack the Level 50 barrier.

<![CDATA[Gaming Gets Style, Get Yours For Free]]> Remember a few weeks back when I had dinner with Scott Steinberg, Kyle Orland and Dave Thomas in Denver? No, that's OK. I couldn't say it at the time, but they were in town to finish up their Videogame Style Guide.

The Videogame Style Guide and Reference Manual aspires to provide gaming writers a set of common rules to work by. The guide deals with such minutiae as whether video game should be one word or two and whether you should use the word console or system. It also includes quite a bit of reference material such as notable names, games and companies.

The 150-page book will sell for just under $15, but working game writers can get an electronic version gratis by hopping over to the official site.
