For the many unfortunate individuals not quick enough to snag a code from Twitter over the past week, the time has come for the chance to finally get your hands on the multiplayer beta for Bungie’s Halo: Reach.

Heavy Rain Playable Demo Preview and Thoughts
0 CommentsPosted by Brandon Galm on February 17, 2010 under Previews
I quite literally just finished playing through the two "chapters" of the Heavy Rain demo which is now available for download on the Playstation Network. All I can say is, "Wow."

MidEvil Demo
0 CommentsPosted by Adam Colton on June 27, 2009 under Previews
MidEvil has been out for quite a few years now, but Origins 2009 was my first exposure to it. I did not actually play the game, but I have played Zombies!!! and, from what I saw in the demo, that is quite enough experience to know that MidEvil is not much different, for better or for worse. Players lay down tiles at the beginning of their turns, then roll a six-sider to determine movement.... more.

This afternoon I watched a demo of Android, the futuristic detective game from Fantasy Flight Games. In this game, players get to choose a character whose sole mission is to uncover a sneaky murderer and proving the innocence of a friend by tracking down leads and unearthing a larger conspiracy.
