Remember that Legend of Galactic Heroes PC game we mentioned a while back? Well, the release is looming and to help people to part with their cash, Bandai Namco have released a demo of the rather shiny RTS today (click this link to start the download). It's not as freeform as Homeworld and actually quite planar but it's much more tactical. As there's a lag between setting up your fleet and them attacking the enemy. You have to plan ahead more as it's essentially leaning towards a turn based approach, or at least one where your commands can leave you clearly open if you don't position your fleet carefully. I quite like it. All it needs now is more Maurice Ravel.
For those curious about the main menu, the first option is a rolling (non-playable) demo, whereas the second option is the playable demo. This demo is entirely in Japanese in case anyone needed that clarifying.
