Jericho and NHL 2K8 demos now available
As promised to us on Tuesday, Xbox Live users can now get a taste of Codemasters’ squad-based horror shooter Clive Barker’s Jericho. That’s not all though, as 2K Sports has also joined in by releasing a demo for the already available NHL 2K8.
The Jericho demo clocks in at a respectable 885.17 MB and has unsurprisingly been given a “M” rating. Following the recent events of Codemasters refusing to edit Jericho for release in Germany after the USK declined to give it an official rating, it shouldn’t take you by surprise to see the demo hasn’t been made available for Germans.

As for the hockey sampler, should you wish to try out what 2K Sports has to offer in the latest NHL 2K8, be prepared to sacrifice exactly 1 GB of your HDD space. Unfortunately for Australia, New Zeeland, and Asia, the only way to get your hands on the demo is to use the region workaround, but at your own risk.

Comment away on the two demos below.
jericho looks interesting, i cant see me playing the demo at the moment though with halo 3 taking all my time up
I’ll most def try it, it better be good though.
Yeah, it’s hard to pull away from Halo 3 but I will background download these when I off the system.
Funny, we seem to be getting quite a bit of FPS recently.
360 is all about the FPSs.
im buying halo in 10 minutes so ill forget these exist..
I recently read an article that showed that FPS only accounted for 12% of all Xbox 360 games. Sports account for about 20% of all games.
I already have NHL 2K8, but will give Jericho a try.
I found Jericho disappointing. It doesn’t even feel scary. The whole team-based concept ruins the atmosphere imo. Those who have played Undying will know what I’m talking about.
Will NHL 2K8 be able to compete with EA’s offering?
d/l both demos and figure it out on your own. You’re a big boy now, and I think you should be up to the task.
yea, because EA is crap
That Jericho screenshot is soooo first level of Quake 3 single player
