Keeping Track of Them Demos

With gaming season in full swing, companies are trying their damndest not to fall behind in gamers’ eyes. You guys keeping track?

Demos for Tomb Raider: Underworld and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts are now available on Xbox 360. Mirror’s Edge’s demo has been pushed up landing on PS3 tomorrow (Friday on Xbox Live) and those who pre-order Left 4 Dead can get their hands on some sweet zombie action November 6 (360/PC).

Waiting to try any games out before dropping three Jacksons on them?

Regardless of what people might say, Banjo-Kazooie has been a good series that, while definitely inferior to the Mario franchise (but which isn’t?), showed off what a great developer Rare was. They’ve had their fair share of duds (i.e. Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo), but this year might be good for the British team.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is due November 18 to the tune of a surprisingly cheap $39.99. As an incentive for pre-ordering the game, buyers will get a code to download the original N64 Banjo-Kazooie two weeks prior to the release of the XBLA re-release…for free.

We kind of like the idea of getting free stuff when we pre-order games around here, especially when the full game is $20 cheaper than the bloated regular price of other titles.

You guys plan on taking Rare up on their pre-order offer? Here’s a video of what you can look forward to if you do:
