"A hockey player, a demon-hunter and a bandicoot all walk into a Marketplace" may sound like the setup for a joke, but it's actually just the most recent demo offerings on Xbox Live. NHL 2K8, Clive Barker's Jericho, and Crash of the Titans are yours for the sampling--if you want all three, pat yourself on the back for having a nicely varied taste in gaming.

The hockey will, more than likely, be excellent, as games with the 2K moniker tend to be. Crash of the Titans is surprisingly fun, and there's certainly not much like it on the 360 at the moment. Jericho is what I'm most curious about, however.Will it be spookily exciting, or just more of the same old shoot-it-before-it-says-boo gameplay that we've seen a dozen times already?
