Would You Rather ... Demo Edition

In our continuing effort to bring you fresh and interesting content, X3F presents Would You Rather ... a weekly feature that asks you the hard questions. The point? If you had to choose one or the other, which would you go for?
This week in WUR we're taking a different approach. With so many demos playable at Mircosoft's press event for upcoming Xbox 360 titles, we wanted to know which one you craved the most.
If Microsoft was to release only one demo today for you to play, which one would it be? Remember, this list only includes items that were playable at Microsoft's San Fransisco event so Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 aren't options. While Ninja Gaiden 2 might be the favorite, we wonder who out there is anticipating more hot Piñata action.
Feel free to share the reasons for your vote in the comments. We'll share the results of the poll during the next edition of Would You Rather ... which hits X3F every Wednesday.
Last weeks WUR results can be find after the jump ... take a look!
Last week we asked if you preferred a subscription based model for larger downloadable content, such as purchasing an entire season of content for an episodic game, rather than purchase each piece separately. The consensus seems to be in favor of the season model as you would only need to worry about your MS Point bank once instead of having to dole out gobs of cash in order to get the right amount of points. The only problem? What if the game sucks?!

Voted for Ninja Gaiden 2. None of the other titles even remotely sound interesting. I would overlook them regardless of other offerings.
bigmac375 @ May 14th 2008 11:06PM
Well, they may not sound interesting, but you can kinda guess what Ninja Gaiden will be like. It does have 2 at the end.
Too Human is the only non-sequel that has a very intriguing combat system. I would love to try it, as this game has a lot to prove.
StLouisRibs7734 @ May 14th 2008 4:04PM
Too Human FTW!
Magic Whiskey @ May 14th 2008 11:19PM
Yes, maybe I'd benefit more from a Too Human demo. The idea of the game had slipped my mind even back in December; it'd be interesting to see what all the hubbub is, bub.
Deck @ May 14th 2008 4:06PM
Too Human for sure, no doubt about it!
Then again I am an rpg whore!
Javier Aguayo @ May 14th 2008 4:08PM
I want Banjo just to see if they screwed up this series.
The Return of Moorio @ May 14th 2008 4:11PM
Isn't Penny Arcade already getting a demo, seeing how it's a XBLA title and those require one...
Xav de Matos @ May 14th 2008 4:13PM
It's my understanding that most of these games will get a demo.
The question is, if one were to drop tomorrow which would you prefer to play.
joey @ May 14th 2008 4:12PM
I pick Too Human over Ninja Gaiden 2 only because I kinda know want to expect from Ninja Gaiden.
Trogdor @ May 14th 2008 4:13PM
Too Human only because I know Ninja Gaiden is going to be great, whereas Too Human has a big question mark on it for me.
LFotF @ May 14th 2008 4:16PM
I want to try Banjo. It's been WAY too long since the last one came out. I'm pretty excited!!!
Tony @ May 14th 2008 4:17PM
The only one I'm not even remotely interested in is Penny Arcade. I plan on at least renting the rest of them. I guess what I'm most excited about is Banjo, though.
Momer @ May 14th 2008 9:12PM
My choice is Too Human, simply because it's the game I'm most looking forward too. There have been very few comments about the actual quality of this game, whereas we all know Ninja Gaiden II will be great.
Yuccadude @ May 14th 2008 4:21PM
I agree with Joey and Trogdor, I'd like Ninja Gaiden, but I want to know if Too Human is worth it or not.
Dom @ May 14th 2008 4:22PM
Banjo and Too Human. Banjo getting the edge. I wanna see first hand how it feels.
Brownie @ May 14th 2008 4:26PM
Exactly 1 vote a piece...I picked too human LOL.
M. Dizzy @ May 14th 2008 4:27PM
Of course that was when I first voted...the results have probably changed since :P
JAKEJAX @ May 14th 2008 4:30PM
Too Human, because I know what to expect from Ninja
Gh3tt0 Child @ May 14th 2008 4:31PM
ninja gaiden DUH!!
DjDATZ @ May 14th 2008 4:32PM
Too Human cuz I'm not interested in any of the other ones...lol
Deekman @ May 14th 2008 4:32PM
I need to see Banjo I need to judge the game for myself not just the trailers.
marauder800 @ May 14th 2008 4:41PM
I picked NG2 because I'm still trying to decide between picking this up or Metal Gear, which ships like a week later. I already plan to pick up Viva Pinata 2, sight unseen. The other 2 I don't give a rat's ass about.
ZenGaijin @ May 14th 2008 4:40PM
I voted for Too Human because its the only title I'm on the fence about other titles I either know I'm getting or know I'm skipping them.
NG2 is already a purchase for me so a demo isn't needed.
IncredibleBulk92 @ May 14th 2008 4:43PM
Man its a close call between Too Human and VP2....
Damnit I guess I'll go with VP2
john paul @ May 14th 2008 4:57PM
Too human
1)new IP
2)need to try out the combat system
3) I know what to expect from ninja gaiden 2
4)not interested in banjo(:O) viva piñata, or penny arcade
Aaron @ May 14th 2008 5:16PM
NGII, only because Penny Arcade ships next week (and is an insta-buy for me)!
vanhelsingh @ May 14th 2008 4:46PM
2 human or ninja gaiden, too difficult
john paul @ May 14th 2008 4:59PM
Everyone is saying the game is much more accesibke now. check out joystiq's interview with the developer
Prox @ May 14th 2008 4:50PM
I almost said Ninja Gaiden, but I know it'll be good so I don't need a demo. I would like to see what they're doing with the new Banjo game.
Digitalspirit @ May 14th 2008 4:56PM
Too Human. Not interested in the kiddie games and no what to expect from Ninja Gaiden II.
DeadlyFrenchman @ May 14th 2008 5:19PM
Ninja Gaiden out soon 2 human looks okay. Viva pinata is where the shiiiiiiiiits at!
Tony Bowman @ May 14th 2008 5:20PM
of all of these games, Too Human has the most to prove to potential buyers, after all the time/hype that has been put into it.
chubytuby @ May 14th 2008 5:54PM
I picked too human to see if it's worth it. Ninja Gaiden on the other hand, I already know it's full of awesomeness :)
Gloqwi @ May 14th 2008 9:10PM
The only reason I voted for Too Human is because of all the news it's been getting. I definitely would love to play some NGII, but I want to test Too Human to see if it possibly could be great.
fragglefart @ May 14th 2008 6:29PM
Voted Too Human since Banjo and Viva Pinata 2 are 100% bought regardless, and the other two will probably have demos anyway.
Mike @ May 14th 2008 6:47PM
Voted Banjo because VP2 is a definite buy (my wife and kids would kill me otherwise) and not interested in the rest.
xX FearHAVOK Xx @ May 14th 2008 7:27PM
im surprised people actually voted for banjo..
too human is definaly my choice, but i hope the demo isnt too revealing and ruins the story
Urza @ May 14th 2008 7:35PM
Gears 2 demo...
Steven M @ May 14th 2008 8:46PM
too human because i am undecided about it whereas with viva pinata and ninja gaiden 2 i know they will kick ass
Boff @ May 15th 2008 6:29AM
Yep, another vote for Too Human. It's new & shiny so a demo would be welcomed.
Banjo is 2nd choice.
No need for a VP2 demo, I know it'll rock!!
And I've seen soooo much of NG2 there's really no need for a demo, imho.
philifan8169 @ May 15th 2008 8:35AM
Can Anyone say SPRING UPDATED DASHBOARD
PeacefulOutrage @ May 15th 2008 8:58AM
I didn't vote for NG2 only because I know the demo is already coming. Also, all XBLA games have a demo, so PAA is coming out next week. I'm curious about Too Human, but I knew many people would vote for it, so I chose Banjo Kazoie.
