Demos for Brutal Legend, Forza 3 now available photo

If, like me, you've become lost in the insane wave of Tokyo Game Show news, let's take a moment to relax and remember that two sweet demos are now downloadable from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

First, there's the Brutal Legend demo, the very same one that a few hundred of you guys tried to win early access to. Now, everyone is a winner, unless of course you don't have Xbox LIVE Gold, in which case you are most certainly a loser ... until the demo becomes available for all members in a week or so.

And yes, for those of you who read the headline, the other demo is Forza Motorsport 3. I was really pumped to get my racing fix from Turn 10, but now that DiRT 2 has stolen some of that thunder, it's moved down a few notches on my to-buy list.

Finally I can vent:

Brutal Legend was fucking amazing!!!

My knowledge of the game was spent reading and not watching so literally everything except the intro video was 100% new to me and it...was...METAL!

Downloaded Brutal Legend's demo last night. Felt like a fun weekend rental, nothing groundbreaking worth replaying.

definitely agree with the comments about Dirt 2 stealing some of Forza 3's thunder.

I was pumped for F3, but Dirt 2 is very, very good.

BL is gonna be a renter for me...although i'm annoyed that the UK gets the demo next week and not now...what reasons for this can there be?

Goddamn it. This whole 'gold member timed exclusive' thing is stupidly ridiculous. Sigh. I guess I'll wait another week.

Brutal legend rocks. The only thing I'm scared of is that it's not gonna sell enough. I'm already seeing people talking about renting it and it's not even on alot if peoples radar. I hope thisll be a hit for doublefine.

You might want to note that the Brutal Legend demo is NA-only. I'm really pissed off about this

You have no soul if you don't consider buying Brutal Legend after playing that badass demo. I wasn't all that interested in the game till I played it earlier. I need to go preorder first thing tomorrow!

Alright then. Brutal Legend is now right there at the top spot for my "must resist impulse buying" list. October is betrothed to Way of the Samurai 3, dropping the same day.

Picked a hell of a time to stop bleeding money...

honestly everyone is getting so riled up about forza3 an GT5. but i feel if Trackmania2 is ported to all consoles it will be the sleeper hit of racing games. Give me fun, fast, an crasy halfpiped track over a 'steep learning curve' of playing. Just give the people their few hours of time to kill of just pure racing joy an thats all that really matters.

Brutal Legend needs to be experienced, and bought in droves, I'd hate to see Schafer have to close down Doublefine because no one bought Psychonauts AND Brutal Legend. If you like Devil May Cry style combat, that's in the game, if you like driving, it's in the game, if you like RTS, it's in the game. If you like GTA style open worlds, it's in the game. I'm sounding like the old EA commercials...

It's Lord of the Rings if it crashed into Ozzfest with the zesty taste of Spinal Tap.

forza was pretty fun, though i can only play through the same track so many times. certainly seems worth a rent or something.

and brutal legend. ohhhhhhh brutal legend.
let's just say rocktober is painfully far away.

Brutal Legend is amazing! I'm trading Halo 3, Resident Evil 5, and a broken GH World Tour for it! LOL at GameStop being careless.
