I finally got around to trying a couple of demos tonight while freeing up space on my 360:

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom seems like a fairly straightforward Diablo-style game, but played from more of a Dynasty Warriors perspective and against the same kinds of mobs of enemies. The demo doesn’t really show anything interesting about the character or item systems though, and the combat is really simplistic and you wind up just mashing the same attack a lot.

Culdcept Saga on the other hand is kind of a cross between Monopoly and Magic: The Gathering. You and your opponent take turns moving around a board, placing creatures to occupy territory and gain points, and drawing cards for more creatures or special bonuses or spells. It’s intriguing, but I’m not sure I’m going to have the time for an in-depth strategy game anytime soon.
