This is just a friendly reminder from me to you that the demo for PES 2010 - Pro Evolution Soccer is available for download from the Xbox Live Arcade right now! While it's certainly not gotten the kind of marketing push that EA's FIFA 10 has, PES 2010 provides just as much opportunity for gamers to wile away hours kicking balls across the screen without using your hands. That's right ladies and gentlemen, there are now two different and distinct games where the object is to repeatedly kick balls. Although since PES is more of a sim than a game, the ball kicking has a much more realistic feel.

Konami is promising that the demo will show improvement over last year's version, with newly detailed visuals, and refined controls. The demo will also allow you to try your hand, er, foot, at a multiplayer match. There's no specification if the multiplayer is local or online, but my gut instinct says local. So what are you waiting for? Kick some balls!
