If you couldn't bring yourself to purchase a copy of Official Xbox Magazine (or if you don't have wonderful Japanese friends), you can now finally download the Eternal Sonata demo from Xbox Live Marketplace. The demo gives players a chance to stretch their legs a bit and get used to the game's interesting, pseudo real time combat system. If you've made it this long without trying it out, you should really give it a go. Oh, there is also a Vampire Rain demo that is available everywhere except Germany, Korea, Taiwan, or the United States. We were beginning to get mighty angry about that, but then we remembered it was Vampire Rain.

Just put onto the XBLM this morning is some free in-game content for both Vampire Rain and Project Sylpheed. The free content includes a new bonus level for Vampire Rain and six new missions, six new weapons and Xbox Live leaderboard support for Project Sylpheed. But, as of this posting, the free Project Sylpheed content has been pulled from the Marketplace due to a "technical problem", but we expect it to be up rather soonish.
Another day and another Xbox.com sponsored Play and Win giveaway, but we aren't complaining. Next weekend from July 13th through the 15th you'll be able to participate in the Vampire Rain Play and Win contest to win an Xbox 360 Elite, HD DVD player, racing wheel and more. To enter, simply register your gamertag here and play Vampire Rain next weekend for entry into the giveaway. It's that simple. Now we're off to figure out what exactly makes Vampire Rain different than the standard rain we get in the Midwest.
