With GamesCom 2009 currently underway in the far-off land of Germany, both Capcom and Eidos have opted to go above and beyond the traditional media pleasantry of such conventions by providing the rest of us with something to play, not just look at. Eidos' offering comes in the form of a sample for Mini Ninjas, the latest from Hitman developer IO Interactive. The demo is now available for PC via FileShack and for the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live, with the PlayStation 3 demo out tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Capcom has delivered a demo of Lost Planet 2 for Xbox 360. Please note that both Xbox 360 demos will be restricted to Xbox Live Gold members for a week, until August 26, at which point they'll be available to those with free Silver accounts.

Those keen to sample the latest from Hitman and Kane & Lynch veterans IO Interactive need only wait a few more days, as publisher and owner Eidos has announced that a demo of IO's cutesy action game Mini Ninjas is due on PC and consoles this week. Both the PC and Xbox 360 demos will be downloadable this Wednesday, August 19, with the PlayStation 3 edition following on Thursday, August 20. No firm details as to what the demo will pack, but as assortment of mini-ninjas and large enemies is a safe bet.

The full version of Mini Ninjas arrives in North America come September 8 in PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS form. The "United Kingdom and PAL territories" release then hits September 11, with France and Germany getting the game October 9.

Hitman series developer IO Interactive has channeled its love of assassination in a surprisingly new direction--a cutesy action adventure titled, and starring, Mini Ninjas.

As ever, an evil villain in a Fortress of Doom has transformed adorable forest creatures into an army so you and your pals you must free them and save the world. With ninjas.

If talking about ninjas flipping out and killing people is your one true passion, you might also enjoy the Wii screenshots, DS screenshots and wallpaper-friendly concept art.

Mini Ninjas will appear silently on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and DS this fall.

Developer Io Interactive (Hitman, Kane & Lynch) is certainly entering new territory with Mini Ninjas, a game that will challenge players to "harness the power of your Kuji magic and utilise the special skills of your Mini Ninja friends."

While providing few gameplay details, Io did release a decent bit of media, which can be viewed below.

Mini Ninjas is coming this fall on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii and Nintendo DS.
