Play Mass Effect 2 and Dead Space 2 in your browser right now, no special plugin needed
If you fancy having your mind somewhat blown, try playing the Mass Effect 2 demo in your browser. Unlike most graphically impressive browser games, this isn’t a huge download running via a special plugin: all you need is Flash and Java, which you likely already do, and you’ll be playing in a few seconds. The only catch is you need a good connection – about 10Mb/s – and the demo won’t appear if you don’t.
The service is called Gaikai, and it’s live in 12 countries right now. The focus is on letting you into the game with no fuss or sign-up process, so it’s perfect for demos. At the end of the Mass Effect 2 or Dead Space 2 demos available now, you get a link to buy the full game.
If the Mass Effect 2 demo link doesn’t pop up when you visit the Gaikai site, try the Spore one – it has the same requirements but it’ll tell you what’s wrong if it doesn’t work.
