It may not be the corpse-centric demo you were hoping for, but should you be interested in perusing a crime scene or two, a demo of CSI: Deadly Intent can be found on on Xbox Live.

The latest from Sam & Max and Tales of Monkey Island developer Telltale Games, the television show-inspired adventure-game arrived at North American retailers today in PC, Xbox 360 and Wii form. A separate Nintendo DS edition, handled by Other Ocean and subtitled "The Hidden Cases," also arrived today.

As usual, the demo is currently restricted to Xbox Live Gold members. Typically, demos are made available to everyone else on Xbox Live a week after they arrive on the service.

Tales of Monkey Island and Sam & Max developer Telltale is once again venturing into the fun-filled world of investigating Las Vegas crimes and corpses with CSI: Deadly Intent. And with the release date approaching, that can only mean one thing: a trailer.

Published by Ubisoft and set during the show's ninth season, Deadly Intent hits PC, Xbox 360 and Wii on October 20. A separate Nintendo DS edition, dubbed "CSI: Deadly Intent - The Hidden Cases," was handled by Other Ocean and will also arrive October 20.
