Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is the intriguing Xbox 360 title from Capcom that drops you onto an icy, alien-filled world. The game is set in the distant future and casts you as an amnesic soldier contending with life on a frozen world that's home to an unfriendly alien race, known as the Akrid, and groups of your fellow humans who've banded into packs of snow pirates. Unfortunately, you'll come to find that despite the Akrid being about as unfriendly and murderous as you can get when it comes to interacting with humans, the snow pirates will pose almost as big of a threat. The last time we saw the game was at Capcom's press event in Las Vegas, and we were given a demo of the title by producer Keiji Inafune and some of the team working on the game. We've since gotten in some hands-on time with two demo levels, which offer a work in progress look at what to expect from the promising title that currently stands as one of the best-looking Xbox 360 games we've seen. The demo is now available on XBox Live for everyone to try out, so feel free to download it and give it a whirl yourself.
