Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine getting a demo photo

If you're undecided on whether you want to curbstomp Orks and melt Chaos Space Marines to slag, then you'll be glad to know that THQ is setting you up with a demo of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine ahead of time.

The taster is set to drop on XBLA and PC August 23, with a PS3 version arriving August 24. It will feature two levels -- one in which the player faces off against a horde of invading greenskins, and another that showcases the Jump Pack. 

Demos!

Good to hear! After the debacle that was Homefront (BAD matchmaking system on the PS3) I was reluctant to try any more THQ games but may give the demo a chance to change my mind.

Coolness! I've always had a fascination with Warhammer 40k, but I never really got into it. Besides the tabletop games, does anybody know of any good novels/comics for a 40k n00b to start with?

Oh you, THQ.

It´s not like I need a demo.
I mean, it´s Warhammer 40k, the first game where you´re an actual space marine and not some cheap ripoff.
And the gameplay looks similar to War of Cybertron, which was great.

Really hope Relic doesn't shit the bed with Space Marine. I'm really starting to dig the Warhammer 40K universe after playing DoW 1 & 2, so I've already pre-ordered the Collector's edition on PC.

Weighing in to agree that a PC demo is awesomesauce. This is good news, 'cos I've been wanting a taste of this game. Someone remind me to grab it off XBLA in a week and Steam (or whatever) the day after so I can compare the two versions.
