Ubisoft announced today a playable demo for its upcoming FPS, Haze. As the game is a PS3 exclusive, the demo will see release on the PlayStation Network in early May, according to Ubisoft. The demo will contain a portion of the single-player campaign as well as four-person co-op multiplayer.

Haze was developed by Free Radical, the British developers known for their TimeSplitters series but probably more famous for comprising key members of the development team of Rare's N64 opus, Goldeneye 007. The pedigree seems to be in Haze's favor.

Haze releases to retail on May 20, 2008.

Following the recent teaser site rumors, Capcom has officially confirmed that the Devil May Cry 4 demo for the Playstation Network and Xbox Live will, in fact, be available on January 24.

Some good news for Xbox 360 gamers in the US today, as The Club demo that was previously made available to Australia, Europe, and New Zealand is now up for download via the Xbox Live service.

Not a lot of perky bits of information have been filtered from the Microsoft camp since its little holiday hiccup, aside from a free download of Undertow that no one cares about anyway (why not arrange a price point and let me download one XBLA game I actually want), but at least the demos continue. And everyone loves the demos.

According to website Chicago Gamer's Club, and apparently anybody with a copy of UK mag "PSW," and at least one working eyeball, we should be expecting a downloadable demo of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to show up on the PlayStation Network (the PS3's Xbox Live counterpart) in February.

Metal Gear Solids 1 and 2 both had pre-release demos that were quite a big deal (I'd estimate that roughly 104% of Zone of the Enders' sales can be attributed to the bundled MGS2 demo). Demos mean the game is close enough to completion to be able to cut a chunk of it out without screwing anything up, and it means that there's at least some small parcel of the story that Kojima can't stay tight-lipped about.

Will the MGS4 demo sell PlayStation 3s, though, that's the question.
