If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the video game news spilling out of E3, perhaps you need to take a break and actually play a video game. Say, a demo for the PC edition of Obsidian's dungeon-crawling action-RPG Dungeon Siege III.

This dungeon is now besieged

As Dungeon Siege III is a Steamworks game on PC, you'll need to hit up Steam to download the demo. It's a 1.5GB download.

The Xbox 360 demo hit last week, but who can possibly grumble about a demo arriving before the game actually launches? What a novelty in this day and age. And for PC too, no less!

There's no word on the PlayStation 3 demo yet, which has doubtless been thrown off by the kerfuffle with the PlayStation Network. With PSN now back up and running, hopefully we can expect it soon.

Dungeon Siege III launches for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on June 21, published by Square Enix.
