The latest firmware upgrade for the Sony PSP allows for video game demos to be downloaded and played. While the selection is very limited–as there is only one game available–this feature has great potential.

Demos for consoles and handhelds are harder to come by than demos for the PC. PC demos are easily downloaded but such is not the case for the console counterparts. Usually to get demos you have to buy a magazine that has a special promo disk with it. Sometimes I have received demos from the Sony Underground, but it’s been for the PlayStation.

The one demo available, LocoRobo, is fun to play. It reminds me of the Partridge family, might be due to the singing. LocoRobo is different, quirky, and has interesting gameplay. Worth checking out though.
