Hexen 2 Demo Up, Up, and Away

The appearance of a playable demo on the Net is always a welcome event (even if it is a week late). Today, gamers have the opportunity to get downright misty-eyed.

At exactly 12:09 pm Pacific time on Thursday, Activision and Raven Software released a playable demo of Hexen II.

The demo includes two single-player levels and a deathmatch level and supports Open GL. In addition, classic Quake-cheats such as "impulse 9" and "god" work in the game.

So take a left and a quick right to get to GameSpot's Demo Center to try your hand at either the Paladin or Assassin - the two playable characters on the demo.
