Codemasters has releases a multiplayer PC demo for Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising PC and it includes the full first mission – which can be played in single-player as well.

Players can take on the mission in different difficulty modes, including Hardcore where HUD visual aids are stripped out.

It was also revealed that Dragon Rising themed Avatar clothing is to be made available “soon” over on the XBL Marketplace with prices starting at 80 MS Points.

A list of where to acquire the demo can be found through here for various regions.

Game’s out now for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

The Lost Planet 2 multiplayer demo saw monster level of interest when it released last month.

“In 24 hours we actually got more downloads of the Lost Planet 2 demo than we did of Resident Evil 5,” Capcom’s Chris Kramer told us this week, talking in the VG247 podcast.

“That kind of astonished all of us.”

The publisher didn’t give exact figures on the latest teaser, but the Resident Evil 5 demo set a Live record in February, with 1.8 million downloads in its first week of availability. It did 1.3 million in the first three days.

The Lost Planet 2 demo released on the first day of GamesCom, August 19. It was a Live-only banana.

THQ just confirmed that the promised Red Faction: Guerrilla multiplayer demo is now available for both 360 and PS3.

The teaser includes a ten-player look at a mode called Damage Control, “a new twist to traditional capture-and-hold, point-based gameplay.”

Press release here.

Red Faction: Guerrilla is to get a multiplayer demo later this month, THQ CEO Brian Farrell has confirmed.

A single-player demo for the title has already released.

The full game is to release for PC, 360 and PS3 in early June.

Farrell was speaking in THQ’s Q4 and year-end earnings call, which is ongoing.

THQ announced losses of over $430 million for the year ending March today.

It’s bloody Live-tastic this morning. The Bionic Commando multiplayer demo just went up, Nelson’s confirmed, which means you should probably go and get it now.

You’ll get eigth-way deathmatch for your trouble. The full game’s out next month.

According to this, a multiplayer demo for THQ’s shooter Frontlines: Fuel of War is now up on Xbox Live, weighing in at 1.11Gb. The Major’s blurb:

Capcom has pulled the demo for the PS3 version of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition in the US as, for some as yet unexplained reason, it refused to connect to multiplayer servers.

“The multiplayer demo for Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is temporarily being removed from the PlayStation Network in order to address issues that have come to light,” said a post on the US PlayStation blog. “We will be working overtime to correct the issue and expect to upload a new version to the PlayStation Network as soon as possible that accurately reflects the incredible online features of the game.”
