Bionic Commando 360 demo soon

Capcom has told us a Bionic Commando demo will arrive on Xbox Live in "the coming weeks".

A specific date, as well as one for PS3, is unknown, although we're trying to find out.

The Xbox 360 demo focuses on the multiplayer side of Bionic Commando and offers the Vertigo map for sample. Here, up to eight people swing around and try to kill each other.

But by having a bionic arm, the tactical possibilities expand. These are best illustrated by Tom's recent video-captured play-test. Watch himat first struggle, before becoming competent and then rather adept, as is his way.

The full Bionic Commando game will arrive equipped with Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.

Bionic Commando is due out on Xbox 360 and PS3 on 22nd May. A PC version will appear in "the following months".

Steam in to our hands-on impressions of Bionic Commando to find out whether it's any good.
