Lost Planet 2 Multiplayer Demo Available Today (Or Tomorrow)

After a slew of promotional limited demo releases, Capcom has finally made their Lost Planet 2 demo widely available.

Some may recall Capcom organized a few promotional releases for the Lost Planet 2 Demo focused on their Capcom Unity blog, but unfortunately, the download keys offered for the PSN and XBLA demo were first-come-first-serve in a limited fashion.

Today, Capcom has announced the Lost Planet 2 Demo is available for everyone interested on XBLA, with the PSN download following tomorrow. The demo will feature the Turbulent Jungle Map, one of ten that will be available at retail.

In an interesting move, Capcom has announced that if the demo is downloaded at least one million times before May 5th, they'll be donating $20,000 to charity, and if an additional 500,000 demos are downloaded, Capcom will add $5,000 more to their donation.

Press Release


Previously exclusive to select community members and available via giveaways on various websites, the Lost Planet 2 Multiplayer demo is now available for download via Xbox Live and tomorrow on PlayStation Network. Featuring the Turbulent Jungle Map, one of the ten maps available on the retail disk, the Lost Planet 2 Multiplayer Demo previews the action packed mayhem that consumers can expect when Lost Planet 2 arrives in stores on May 11, 2010.

Downloading the Lost Planet 2 demo also benefits the world with Capcom’s “Kill Big for Charity” program. Capcom is partnering with Music for Relief, a non-profit organization dedicated to disaster relief and disaster risk mitigation, to contribute $20,000 to charity if one million demos are downloaded across both XBL and PSN before May 5, 2010. An additional $5,000 will be added to the pot if an extra 500,000 demos can be achieved. The specific cause to receive the donation will be determined by a celebrity tournament on May 6 in Los Angeles. The winning team of that tournament will choose which Music for Relief program will receive the funds.

Help us achieve our goal by promoting the new Lost Planet 2 demo!

I'm really surprised to hear about Capcom's charity efforts. Honestly, it seems like a clever, tricky way to convince people to demo their game, while at the same time, it's genuinely something positive, too.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
