"After the rather excellent Trials HD last week, the Summer of Arcade draws to a close with Shadow Complex. Fans of pirates and snow should probably avoid this week&amp;#039;s demo section, but you can pick up a discounted Halo 3 premium theme in the Deal of the Week. Games  Shadow Complex: Inspired by the likes of classic adventure games Metroid and Castlevania, Shadow Complex borrows from the best and does the genre justice. Uncover a shady plot, rescue the girl, and explore a mountainous base with ridden with foot solders and huge mechs, all in time for corn flakes. The game retains the exploratory mechanics of its peers, with power upgrades and hidden items all over the place, and even though it adds generious guide map to point you in the right direction, things still remain elusive and fun to track down. As well as a solid adventure, the use of 2D-come-3D environments makes for some riveting shoot-outs and boss battles through the use of an additional Z-axis. You also get experience for fighting, so legging it past everyone won&amp;#039;t benefit you in the long run. Although it can be finished in four to six hours, achievements of attaining under 100% of the items await you, as well as puzzle rooms that make use of the upgrades you&amp;#039;ve amassed throughout the game. While it might not reach the dizzy heights of Super Metroid, this is a stunning attempt from Chair Entertainment, one well worth the 1200 Microsoft Point (\u00A310.20) price point. You can check out a trailer and the achievement list here. Demos  Lost Planet 2: You can now grab a co-operative demo for Capcom&amp;#039;s tundraless, bug-swatting sequel. Providing you have a Gold membership, you and three others can tackle a giant insect boss, working together to pull its legs off, fight it from the inside out and trap it under a glass (OK, maybe not the latter, but you get the picture). Capcom promises that the demo will play out differently each time you play, so try it out with a few different mates. Silver members will have to wait until next week to sample its delights. Mini Ninjas: You can now have a go at this charming adventure game, which reminds us an awful lot of Zelda with its fighting and exploration, which is certainly a good thing. Take down an evil Samurai force by swapping between six ninjas on the fly, all with unique abilities to progress past puzzles in the environment. Scaling giant enemies also has a Shadow Of The Colossus feel to it as well. It&amp;#039;s a free download for all members too. Deal of the Week Like premium themes? Like Halo 3? Like discounts?
