Sonic Unleashed demo coming soon

For those that are curious about Sonic Unleashed but have been put off by many of the reviews going around, then you are in luck. Sega Europe has mentioned, on their blog, that a demo of Sonic Unleashed is on its way. The full details are yet to be revealed, and this is all we have been told:
“Sonic.
Unleashed.
Demo.
It’s coming.
More next week.”
Well simple and straight to the point, I guess. So we shall just have to wait and see what the demo will bring to us. I can only assume the demo will be on both Xbox 360 and PS3 services, though Sega might do something crazy and only put it on one of them.
I just hope they do something sensible and show off a couple of Sonic’s levels, as the general consensus is that the Werehog is the worst part of the game, (if you are trying to sell something, always best to show the good stuff). Stay tuned for more information as it is revealed in the coming week.

Downloadable content coming to Western Valkyria owners
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, News, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with Download Content, Valkyria Chronicles.
It was pretty inevitable really, but now it has been officially confirmed. The download content for Valkyria Chronicles, which was made available to Japan a while ago now, is set to come to the West. The game’s American producer, Christopher Kaminski, has confirmed that the content will also be coming to North America and Europe.
The download content comes in the form of the “Extra Hard” Skirmish mode and an ‘extra mission.’ While that might not sound too exciting for some of you, I am assuming that the downloads are the same as the Japanese version of the game, and the ‘extra mission’ is in fact an additional episode - focusing on Edie, (a support character from the main story mode), complete with full vocal work, story elements, and skirmishes.
Unfortunately no date or pricing has been announced, other than ‘early 2009.’ So it seems we will have to wait a few months - and who knows, by then I might have actually bothered to buy a PS3 ;o).
And if you are holding off buying Valkyria, (for whatever reason) then stayed tuned, as we shall have our own review up fairly soon.
