Physical Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity demo detailed

by

Do you love limited released SEGA stuff? I do, even though I never get anything and all the good stuff is from Japan. When SEGA does put good stuff on their Free Stuff Friday, some dude named MarioLugiKratos always ends up getting it. Bummer.

The demo is going to be limited to 10,000 units. To get one you have to cross a Rappy’s ears and then fill out some application stuff. This is all for Japan, you can also fill out this application and hand it to SEGA at their Jump Festa booth.

Football Manager 2011 – Demo and Trailer

by

Above is the official trailer for Football Manager 2011. I can’t say it is my favorite trailer I’ve seen for this series. But I think it is a good idea to go with trailers that are less about the game itself and more about the passion behind the sport. That said I have no passion for football at all.

If FM2011 is relevant to your interests, then you can now download and play the demo:

The Football Manager 2011 Demo is available to download today, free and exclusively in association with Mirror Football. Click the link below to download from Steam and follow the onscreen instructions to install. You will need a Steam account to download, but signing up is free.

Valkyria Chronicles 3 demo is coming

by


The demo will be coming, but only the Japanese version. Luckily I pretend to know Japanese so everything will play out just fine. The demo being released for the game will continue the story of the TGS demo, which we never played. The demo will include two missions, one has you retake a mountain base. Those that are getting the Japanese version will unlock special bonuses from playing the demo.

Date for the demo has not been given.Valkyria Chronicles 3 will be hitting PSP spring of next year. Now where is that western release date?

Sonic 2 3D fan project getting demo next week

by


Sonic 2 3D fan project has released YouTube videos and we all assumed that we would never actually get to try it. There is a thing about Sonic fan projects, most of the time the users give up on them.

But it seems the guys behind Sonic 2 3D have bigger plans and are thinking of releasing a demo next week, according to a user from NeoGAF. The Demo will be for PC of course.

To help with the wait, have some screenshots.

Vanquish Second Demo: ‘Challenge mode’ Available! [update]

by

You can now download the second Vanquish demo from the Japanese Xbox Live Arcade and Japanese PSN.  So if you haven’t already you need to make a Japanese account.

This is as simple as creating a new XBLA or PSN profile and setting your location to Japan.

This new demo dubbed ‘Challenge mode’ is made specifically for the ‘core’ gamers and the name pretty much sums it up. You must survive 5 waves of enemies and do it in the quickest time with the most points.

From what I have read around other forums some people are finding it hard just to finish! But that wont be a problem for us hardened Sega gamers right?!

[Update] Turns out it is XBLA Gold account only so unless you have a Japanese gold account you are screwed.

Second Vanquish demo incoming

by


Vanquish director Shinji Mikami and producer Atsushi Inaba announced at TGS that they will be having a second demo for their game on Xbox Live and PSN. When? September 22nd. This demo will be called “Vanquish Challenge Mode Demo”.

This second demo is suppose to be for the hardcore fanbase, thus it will be more difficult.  The date is obviously for Japan, no dates for the U.S. or Europe, but if we have a repeat with the last demo announcement, we will probably get it a few days earlier than Japan. I hope!

Here is a trailer for Vanquish made by a fan, it is comprised solely of game play found in the recently released Demo. (Available on XBLA and PSN.)

Not only is it a pretty cool trailer, but it should give you some pretty good ideas and tips on how to play Vanquish creatively. It sure made me want to boot up the demo again and give some of these moves a try!
