No idea about the PSN but there's a Dark Athena SP demo on the 360 Marketplace. Downloading as I type...

 

The original was one of my top 3 Xbox games so I'm eagerly awaiting this one.

First one was terrific, one of the best FPSs I've played, can't see this being as good though.

I think I've heard that the 360 and PS3 versions will include a HD-version of the original.

 

EDIT: They talk about it on Invisible Walls on Gametrailers, episode 44, 17 minutes into it. "The cool thing about Dark Athena is that it includes Butcher Bay, fully uprest. for the 360 and the PS3. No news on the PC version".

That alone should be a reason enough for everyone who didn't play the original to buy this.

The original has been remade to include some new gameplay elements, and the graphics have obviously been improved to match Dark Athena and the engine is all HD-optimised etc. Dark Athena itself is the sequel, more or less.

 

It's a fantastic package, and I'd happily replay the first one again. I haven't played the demo of this yet though as I'm doing some paperwork at the moment and then I'm seeing my friend.

Just played the demo.

Extremely short, only about 10 minutes, so it's hard to get any real impressions from it. But it does feel like a good game, I really liked the drone control, very smart feature. Guns could pack a bit more punch though, IMO, they're not bad, but nothing immensely satisfying either. Graphics are good, especially the lighting is terrific.
