Open-world, destruction-causing fans take note: the demo for Avalanche's Just Cause 2 will be released for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 next Thursday, March 4th. The PC demo will be available through Valve's Steam platform.

I had a chance to preview the game earlier this week and found it extremely fun. It's definitely worth a free download on your platform of choice. The demo will serve up 35-square miles of the full version's 400-square mile playable area.
