If you're not dead set on Dead Rising 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dead-rising-3), don't dead fret: There's a new demo on the Xbox Games Store with your name on it. Hop to the New Game Demos section to check it out. Also, publisher Microsoft revealed details on the game's first piece of story DLC, "Operation Eagle." A Microsoft spokesperson told Joystiq the DLC will be available on December 24.

First, the demo: It restricts you to a 20-minute sojourn at Los Perdidos, but if you want another go by the end of it, you can. Each Gamertag can take the demo for a spin two times, but no more than that.

As for Operation Eagle, as the name suggests there's a Federal air to the storyline: The President of the United States is missing, and your mission as Spec Ops Commander Adam Kane is to find her - or, as Microsoft's press release puts it, "capture" her. Sounds a bit like an undead version of 24 - or as it's otherwise known, Live Another Day (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2013/10/03/24-live-another-day/2916577/).

The Operation Eagle mission features five new weapons, a new combo weapon, a new vehicle, and of course some new rags to wear. It's the first of four major pieces of DLC announced for Dead Rising 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/30/dead-rising-3-season-pass-dlc-plans-crawl-from-the-grave/), all available via the $30 season pass. If you just want in for Operation Eagle, its standalone tag is $10.
