Two new demos are available on the Xbox Live Marketplace today, allowing you to sample Alone in the Dark and Wall-E.

The demo for Eden Games' Alone in the Dark, which was released back in June for PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and Wii, is a 1.35GB download and includes parts from the first and second episode of the game.

The Wall-E demo from Heavy Iron Studios is a 1.44GB download, and offers the opportunity to play as Wall-E or his ladyfriend EVE as they explore a desolate Earth. Based on the Pixar movie, Wall-E is available for PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP.
