Xbox Gaming in South Africa

You haven't played Vigil Games' Darksiders yet? Didn't you read our review?! Shame on you. A lot of shame. You can, however, mitigate this huge, wobbly heap of shame by downloading and playing the Darksiders demo when it drops onto Xbox LIVE on 25 February. And then love it and buy it, obviously.

“We are really pumped to be bringing a playable demo for Darksiders to Xbox 360 and PlayStation3," says David Adams, general manager over at Vigil. "We really wanted to give gamers a true idea of the variety of gameplay that the game offers and so rather than just making a standard 20-minute demo version of the first few levels, we decided to give away this massive level and reveal the true essence of the game.”

It's a pretty substantial 90-minute demo, including the entire Twilight Cathedral area of the game and the first boss encounter with the massive batty thing, Tiamat.
