Demos for NHL 10 and DiRT 2 join Lost Planet 2 and Mini Ninjas on Live

Need something to chew up your free time between constant attempts to sequence break Shadow Complex? Xbox Live Marketplace has been invaded by a slew of new game demos -- currently available to Gold members -- to help combat your boredom.

With four demos hitting the Marketplace in the last two days, Xbox users are treated to a collection of completely different gaming experiences. Strap into the Mitsubishi Eclipse GT and race the Trailblazer event in DiRT 2, lace up your skates and hit the ice in the NHL 10 demo, show off your ninja skills in Mini Ninjas or jump online with up to four players and attack the evil Akrid in the Lost Planet 2 Co-op demo. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a diverse selection of video game demos.

I can't wait to try the NHL 10 demo. I probably won't buy it though, as I try to buy sports games only every two to three years, and I got NHL 09 last year.

That Lost planet one was short but addictive.
Me and buddies teamed up about 7x last night to kill the Akrid.

I did exactly the same. If only it was coming out this fall, I need this game in my life.

NHL 10 Demo is amazing! Finally a fun fighting system.

Can't wait for this game to come out!

So I thinking that Xbox should speard these demo's out more. I'm not liking the dry spells between demo releases!

will lost planet 2 have split screen co-op? Not enough games have that feature outside of AAA titles like Halo and Gears. me and my wife have almost divorced over splitting time on BF1943, FO REAL!!!!!!!

Wow. I just saw the DiRT 2 demo last night before going to bed. What a disappointment. The menues and stuff are brilliant again but other than that? It looks quite the same as DiRT graphic-wise and the cars feel even more ridiculous -.- I thought they were going towards simulation this time?
