Gamers are in for a treat tomorrow because Capcom plans to release a demo for Devil May Cry 4 on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network.

The demo consists of a sampling of sections from the full game, chosen to showcase Devil May Cry 4's varied locales, allowing gamers to familiarize themselves with Nero's unique abilities. Players will receive instruction on the various new actions that the Devil Bringer bestows, such as the ability to slam creatures to the ground, cover great distances in a single bound or even grab enemies while on the ground or in the air and pull them towards Nero to continue an attack combo. The Exceed system allows Nero to "rev up" his sword as if it were a motorcycle throttle and unleash devastating attacks. Players will need to master all these techniques before the end-of-demo showdown with the mighty Berial.

The developers of Total Overdose and Chili Con Carnage, Deadline Games, has announced that they are developing a new title called Faith and a .45 for next-gen platforms.

The duo battles an oppressive enemy force, led by a ruthless, corrupt oilman who's out for their blood. Set in an original take on the Great Depression, one of the darkest periods in US history, the game is a gritty, cross-country epic - a road journey with guns, a dark army of steel-plated vehicles, and armour-clad pyromaniacs.
