Our original story follows.]
The indie gaming side of Xbox is hosting another demo event this year, the ID@Xbox Summer Game Fest Demo event. Starting June 21, the ID@Xbox team says it will have over 30 demos of upcoming games playable on Xbox.
These demos will be up from June 21 through the 27th, so be sure to check them out while the window’s open. AndID@Xbox notesthat these demos are not the average demos you’d usually see on stores. While those usually come from fairly completed games, the ones in ID@Xbox are more akin to “show floor demos” you might catch at PAX or something. Basically, these are early-stage projects, so be constructive if things seem a little rough.
