Questionable marketing tactics aside, EA's videogame adaptation of Dante's Inferno looks like it has potential. Players will be able to find out for themselves sometime next month, as the publisher announced this morning that a demo for Dante's Inferno will hit both the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Store in December.

The "Gates of Hell" demo for Dante's Inferno will include the opening level of the game in its entirety, which leads up to a climactic showdown against Death himself. Anyone who gets hooked at that point will have to wait until February 9 of next year to play the finished game.
