A neatly compiled list of the 5 360 demos that could avert painful surgery.

Top 5 Xbox360 Demos



Burnout Revenge
Developer: Criterion

I admit, I’m a big Burnout fanboy, and that’s the (only) reason this game made it to this list, even though the demo’s nothing to shout about. If you’ve played Revenge on the Xbox or the PS2, there’s not enough fresh content to warranty a purchase, except for prettier visuals and a better sense of speed. The demo is actually pretty disappointing as it consists of only one road rage event; no crash, no race, no eliminator, nothing; but in the end it is Burnout and if like me you’ll lap up anything and everything Burnout, go ahead and try the fastest racer on the planet out in high definition.


Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW)
Developer: Ubisoft

Having played the PC version, I wasn’t too keen on the 360 version, but I did download it nevertheless, and surprisingly was pretty impressed with it. Not only does it look really good, but it plays much better (the 3rd person camera angle worked for me) and is loads of fun as compared to its PC counterpart. If you get bored of the offline demo (which by the way contains one story based mission), you could download the online demo and duke it out with players via Xbox Live.



Fight Night Round 3
Developer: EA
Yeah, yeah, I know it’s another rehash, but you have to see this bad mofo in action to believe it. Every hair, every muscle, every freaking pore on your boxer’s body stands out in high definition with every jaw breaking punch creating ripples on your opponent’s cheek in slow motion. If like me, you haven’t played the PS2 or the Xbox version, I strongly recommend giving this demo a shot.


There you go; we hope this list has averted that kidney surgery and has managed to satiate those next gen pangs for a while. We’ll be back next month with more.
