Even before releasing the game itself, Ubisoft dropped fresh content for the Oblivion-esque PC port Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements for the Xbox 360. By the time we had a chance to scratch our heads at downloadable content for a game that didn't exisit (at retail that is), Ubisoft pulled the plug and the content was removed from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

Well, like an adamant Terminator, the content pack is back and ready to roll. 400 MS creds gets you new maps, classes and weapons. Unfortunatley the download pack does not include fun, maybe that's next time!

Update: Our original tipster is at it again letting us know that since the release of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements the content that was originally offered for download has now vanished from the Xbox Live Marketplace. We wonder if there was an issue with the content, it dropped too soon or the pricing was wrong. Only time will tell.

The upcoming Source engine first-person roleplaying game, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements, is hitting retail shelves on February 12. However, one of our eagle-eyed readers noticed downloadable content was already made available over Xbox Live Marketplace. At a cost of 400MS space-bucks you can add new maps, classes and weapons. While we're all about being proactive here at X3F, we wonder why this content isn't on the disc. We don't imagine the 151MB download would have filled a standard DVD to bursting and considering Dark Messiah was originally released on the PC in 2006, you'd imagine Ubisoft would find the time to toss it on the retail disc.

[Thanks, ccc]

Nothing like a surprise demo to brighten your day. Scratch that, nothing like a good surprise demo to brighten your day. Today's demo is Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements from Ubisoft. We haven't actually taken it for a spin just yet, so we haven't verified the "good" part of the equation, but we're hopeful. We can confirm that the demo lets players access both single player and multiplayer modes, which is always nice for a demo. For those unfamiliar with the game, it's a very violent fantasy FPS. Check out the trailer after the break and see if it looks like your cup of tea.

Usually demo posts are little more than public service announcements, but this one really took us by surprise. After all, the last time we heard anything about Xbox 360's Dark Messiah: Elements, it was due in early September of this year, a goal that, as you've probably noticed, it did not reach. Now, it's come from nowhere with a brand new demo on Xbox Live and a new date: Feb. 5, 2008, if Gamestop can be believed.

When it launched on the PC late last year, the reviews were all over the map. But it's been a year since then and we look forward to seeing how it has grown in the intervening 14 months. What's more, the demo features both single and multiplayer campaigns. Give it a spin and let us know what you think in the comments below.
