Video of the ME3 and Reckoning demo item unlocks

Yesterday we detailed what you’d be getting if you play the Mass Effect 3 and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demos. Well today Electronic Arts has released a little video showing off how the special items look in action.

The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo will be out on January 17 and the Mass Effect 3 demo will be out later this month. You can check out the full breakdown of item unlocks below.

Well fancy that. You’re going to get free items for playing free demos. I hope this becomes a bigger trend.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo item unlocks for Mass Effect 3:

• Reckoner Knight Armor: This armor will maximize damage done in close-quarters combat while a beefed–up power cell feeds energy into weapon systems to increase projectile velocity.
