Here at The Incomplete Gamer we like to think that when it comes to video games we’re making intelligent, informed purchasing choices, but truth be known, we’re a sucker for a great advertising campaign.

Back in November, Sony kicked off its ‘You’ve got the whole world in your hands’ print and TV advertising campaign for the PSP; a clever campaign that showcased the versatility of Sony’s portable handheld.

But if it’s software that ultimately sells consoles then we can’t help but think that the campaign would be more effective if it used that same ‘whole world’ theme to sell specific titles.

That being said, Sony have absolutely nailed it with it’s new ad campaign for Resistance Retribution.

Which got us to thinking. With the advent of the Playstation Store and the Xbox Live Marketplace, the Wii Shop Channel, together with the recent flood of PSP demos into the wild, gamers are almost spoilt for choice. But IGN have a point. There’s no such thing as a free lunch game. For those on capped download plans there’s the size of the download to consider. The advent of high-def gaming means some of these games will take a bite out of your monthly cap. Then there’s the time you’re going to have to invest getting your head around the controls of a demo. Like we said, this is no free ride. So let the other sites tell you when the demo has landed; the Incomplete Gamer will tell you whether the demo is worthy of your time. For this, our very first DEMOgraphy, we take a look at the Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops multiplayer demo.
