As a special treat for all the Xbox 360 owners who didn’t get a chance to experience the stunning Gears of War 3 title, Epic Games and Microsoft have just deployed a special demo for the game, which is now available for download via the Xbox Live online service.

We named Gears of War 3 the best Xbox 360 exclusive game of the year, praising its sharp graphics, polished gameplay and impressive story, which concluded the trilogy that focused on the Delta Squad led by Marcus Fenix.

Now, after the game reached impressive sales when it was released in September and after the launch of several downloadable add-ons, a free demo for Gears of War 3 can be experienced by Xbox Live Gold members right now.

This trial includes the Shipwrecked level from the beginning of the game, in which Marcus Fenix and his squad mates need to deal with the oncoming Lambent forces that attack their ship.

For a brief taste of that level, check out the video we made above.
