I decided to make this thread so that if anyone has a certain new marketplace item (demo, trailer, whatever) they'd like to discuss, they could put it here instead of having a million different topics about it. I'll add a few to start off, seeing as new stuff just came out :)
Halo 3: In The Beginning
An in depth look at the makings of the Halo 3 announcement trailer, and it is actually quite informative. I can now play the chords at the beginning of the trailer (piano), and they share a lot of nice information about storyline (nothing major, pretty much common knowledge) and point out some details you might have missed. And, it's pretty much all ingame graphics, so now we have some idea of what Halo 3 will look like. It also gives you a look on where Bungie is on the devlopment, cause I saw some animators screens and the models looked pretty detailed on some occasions.
Mass Effect: E3 Demo Walkthrough
This is basically the E3 demo accompanied with narration. When I saw demo, I mean demonstration, not playable, sorry if I got your hopes up. This game is looking very slick and will probably break the paradigm of what we believe is possible in an RPG. Very slick indeed.
LOTR:BFME2 Online Demo
Despite the name, the demo of Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle Earth 2 actually includes a nice tutorial and one single player level alongside the online demo. I got to test it out, and I've got to say it is quite possibly the best RTS on a console, though admittedly that's not a difficult title to attain given how bad most console RTS's are. Fun game, and the musical score, as well as the sight of a bunch of goblins/dragons/spiders/trolls/giants under your command is quite awesome.
