Spectacular 3DS Rayman Origins demo hits eShop
The wait is over; you’re one free download away from finding out just how good one of 2011’s best console games looks and plays on 3DS.

Demo this dog, dang it!
Look, I know Nintendogs + cats isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Honestly, I understand (animal haters!) But now that eShop has a FREE DEMO of N+c available for download RIGHT NOW, every 3DS owner should give it a spin. Why?

How much is too much for the 3DS? $300? How about $250? Would the cost of one game make a difference? The cost of a night at the movies? If it launches here at $300, 3DS will cost the same as a 32GB iPod Touch. But, you know what? Everyone’s seen the iPod Touch. It’s great, but no longer new. Right now, most people have not seen the 3DS in person. It can’t strut its stuff on tele...

Review – Monster Hunter 3 demo
I picked up the entirely free demo disc from GameStop this week for Monster Hunter 3 (or Tri, not sure what I’m supposed to call it). While I applaud this type of marketing, I think they missed a good opportunity to convince me to buy the game. Based on what I’ve read or seen, this game had me very excited. The disc comes with a fold-out control guide, which is fine, but doesn...
