Owls are kinda scary. Oh crap, did we say that out loud?

​

I know what you're thinking: Who are these "guardians" and what the heck is a "Ga'Hoole." Is it a German delicacy? Because it sounds delicious.

Believe it or not, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is a game, based on an upcoming movie, based on a beloved children's book. With me so far? Good.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Krome Studios recently announced the demo for this new title will be hitting Xbox 360 Sept. 6 and the PlayStation 3 Sept. 8.

According to the press release, the demo allows players to take to the sky as a feathered warrior and defend all of owlkind against the evil Pure Ones. The Pure Ones certainly sound like an alright group of fellows, but they are apparently bad. Very bad.

In the game, players will take part in aerial combat and explore vast levels with "full 360 degree flight mechanics." In short: Pick an owl, fly around a free-roam world and fight confusingly-named bad guys.

If that sounds like fun, you're only a few days away from trying it out for yourself when the Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole demo is unleashed on the masses. Unless you are a sad, cold individual, I'm not sure how that doesn't sound like fun.
