The Xbox 360 demo of Eden Games’ survival action game Alone in the Dark is now available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The demo features a handful of levels from from the first and second episodes of the game and will let new players try their hand at the ambitious, serial TV drama-inspired action. The game in stores now for the Xbox 360, PC, Wii and PS2, with the PlayStation 3 version bringing up the rear in the latter part of 2008. Thanks to our extremely late arrival of the review copy, we should have a mini-review up later this week. First impressions: it’s definitely not “3.5/10″ bad.

I remember playing the very first alone in the dark and it just about made me pee my pants. Of course I was 9 and never played a horror survival game. From what I have see though is that they have taken an original concept and wiped their ass with it so it will attract gamers who play other games like it. Hanging around in Central Park seems far from ALONE. And blinking… wft? I don’t need to consciously tell myself to blink. I have been assured that there is nothing to worry about and it should be cool, but I have my reservations.

I actually thought the blinking mechanic sounded quite cool. Though, if it’s required all the time as soon as you’re wounded, it would just be frustrating. Small “cool” things like this often gets too much in the end. Directing the wind in Windwaker, anyone?
