Splinter Cell Conviction is the latest installment in the hit Tom Clancy series from Ubisoft

It was announced on Xbox Live’s Inside Xbox service that a playable demo of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction will be available this week.

360 players will be able to download the demo on March 18th (this Thursday) and get a taste of Sam Fisher’s latest, and possibly greatest game.

The demo features a ‘brutal’ interrogation scene, as well as a level from later in the game in order to give the player a good idea of the gameplay and story of the game without giving away any big plot points.

Judging by some of the previews that have been out and some of the announced features in Conviction, I would definitely suggest downloading this demo and giving it a try.

It has been announced that there will be no demo for Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 .  The announcement was made via the game’s official twitter page. The tweet said, “Bad news: there won’t be a demo for SVR 2010. Good news: SVR 2010 is about 2 weeks away!” There has been a demo for the past three games in the Smackdown Vs Raw series; 2007 and 2008 on Xbox 360 and last year, the 2009 demo that was Playstation 3 exclusive. There is no explanation as to why there is not a demo this year.

WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 is released 23th October and is available to pre-order now on Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation Portable, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

There will be no Modern Warfare 2 demo before its release on 10th November, Infinity Ward has said. As more and more developers are doing these days, Infinity Ward made this announcement via their Twitter page. Infinity Ward tweeted: “No plan for a Demo before launch. The entire team is focused on polish all the way up to ship of the full game.” However this doesn’t rule out a post-launch Demo as we have seen with Call of Duty: World at War. This news comes after last month’s news that there are no plans for a public multiplayer beta either. But why does this matter, you’re all going to buy the game on launch day anyway, aren’t you?

Modern Warfare 2 is released 10th November and is available to pre-order now on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows.

The Forza Motorsport 3 demo is available right now from Xbox Live Marketplace. The demo features five cars (Audi R8, Ferrari California, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR etc) and one track (Camino Viejo).

In recent news from the Tokyo Game Show, Turn 10 have revealed that a large number of Japanese cars are to be featured in the game, including the 2003 Honda S2000, Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec, and Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo.

Forza Motorsport 3 has gone gold, according to sources at Microsoft and Turn 10. This means that the game is finished, ready to be burned onto disks and sent out to the shops. The eagerly-awaited console racing game launches in Europe on October 23 and in North America on October 27.

Thankfully, you won’t have to wait that long for a taste, as a demo will be on the Xbox Live Marketplace on September 24. The demo will feature the Camino Viejo circuit and five cars:

• 2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR
• 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro
• 2009 Ferrari California
• 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
• 2009 Mini John Cooper Works

The demo will also include official leaderboards.

The demo for WET has appeared onto Xbox Live Marketplace as if by magic.. no seriously we all know the Marketplace works magically so don’t try and say any different.  The demo weighs in at around 632mb and can be downloaded direct from this link.  See its magic!

Codemasters has just released the demo onto both Xbox Live and Playstation Network for you all to test out your rallying skills.  We expect a lot from this title so don’t disappoint us Codemasters.
