Though the Cities XL Website says a demo is due next week, a playable demo for Monte Cristo's urban-planning game is actually already available. This sample of the urban-planning and management game has English, German, and French-language support and includes three maps that can be played for a week after you first begin playing, though the population of cities is capped at 22,000 in the demo version, and users are required to register a free account in order to play. There's also a new trailer from the game on AtomicGamer, and downloads of the 1 GB demo can be found on 4players.de, AtomicGamer, AusGamers, ComputerGames.ro, eXp Download, FileFront, and Gamer's Hell. Also, official use of the inconsistent all-caps version of the title seems to be diminishing, so we guess this is really Cities XL, and not CITIES XL; at least for the moment.
