The June 2005 issue of Official Xbox Magazine in North America has a demo for Xbox Live Arcade on the cover-disc, and alongside trial versions for some naggingly addictive casual titles, there's also a demo of the previously mentioned psychedelic shooter Mutant Storm from Pom Pom Games, which is well worth checking out - awesome double-analog oldskool controls and wonderful Minter-inspired psychedelic art. For anyone hooked up to XBL Arcade, $9.99 is well worth it for the full version of the game.

[Oh, and another one of the demos is for PopCap's Zuma, rather easily 'confused' with Mitchell's Puzz Loop/Ballistic. Interestingly, it seems that Mitchell is now doing web versions of Puzz Loop, and were apparently considering legal action over the similarity of the games late last year, according to an igda.jp post.]
