Yep, it's official! The highly anticipated demo is finally set to hit Steam (PC), the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Network on Thursday 4th, March 2010. That's next week guys!

For the past month or so since they announced it, there has been very little info regarding the demo other than the interview with Mike Oldman last night, and the same old tweets both on Mike's and the Eidos twitter pages: No date yet - but we'll be shouting about it when we know for sure.. Well now they finally know for sure, and they are certainly shouting about it!

As stated in the interview last night, the demo is seriously generous in what you can in it and a lot of fun or indeed challenging, depending on how you decide to play it.

The good news is that less than a week away until you all can finally get your hands on Just Cause 2 and mess around with that dual hook! All this waiting totally worth it!

For an idea of the download size and even the demo area size itself, Mycoldman said in one of his tweets yesterday: Wondering how big the Just Cause 2 demo is? Try 1.4Gb. Or Manhattan. Or Paris. Or more accurately 35 square miles.

Just thought I would keep you guys updated on the demo. It is coming as I mentioned in my last post about it, but there is still no confirmed release date.

The demo will of course be available on all platforms including the PC. Again, the PC version of Just Cause 2 is a Steam only exclusive, so you'll need to get Steam to play the PC demo.

Get Steam now!

Just Cause 2 PC version is a Steam exclusive

I've had the hint up for some time now, but the big news today is that Just Cause 2 has now been confirmed as a Steam exclusive.

What is Steam?

Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute a large number of games and related media entirely over the internet, from small independent efforts to larger, more popular games. Steam is set apart from similar services primarily by its community features, completely automated game update process, and its use of in-game functionality.

So if you're a PC gamer, this is great news as updates will be delivered automatically, and Steam fully supports DLC distribution. This is also great as even though you can only register it to one account, you are not limited to a single PC unlike other digital distributors or big titles. All you need to do is login to the account you installed Just Cause 2 on.

You will of course still get all the pre-order bonuses, but pre-ordering it in the shops still has it's benefits: you can install the game straight from disc instead of having to wait for it to download, and not forgetting... you'll get the limited edition map too.

As the game is now less than two months away, I can assure you that these next two months are going to be filled with exciting stuff to keep you on the edge of your seats, biting your nails, or whatever else it is you do in shear anticipation!

UK: Preorder from Game.co.uk

If you're in the UK, the best place to pre-order your copy of Just Cause 2: Limited Edition is Game.co.uk.

The prices are currently as follows:

PC - £24.99
PS3 - £39.99
Xbox 360 - £39.99

If you're interested, we've pre-ordered it for Xbox 360, but will also be buying the PC version at a later date. The PC version is mostly so we can try to break it apart and create some great mods for it. We just hope the files are more accessible than the original Just Cause. That was virtually impossible to mod.

If you haven't played Just Cause, it's definitely worth checking out on Steam.
