New preview from IGN.
IGN was walked through the game demo, with some help by A-net. Here is the article.

Nice preview. Can't wait to do all the minigames, and especially to collect all 18 polymok pieces.

Wow, the guy that wrote this article either is completely ignorant to his horrid GW-related spelling errors or he just doesn't care.

So will Arenanet be releasing these cheat command line inputs? Clearly we also need a monk with 100 energy, 10 energy regen and a 999-damage skill to complete this game
It seems Oola > Shiro + Lich combined.

Sweet crispy walnuts.
Yes, that does seem to be Gwen. Not only with a mesmer wand, but with a red iris flower as a focus.
This is gonna be good.

I think I'll be skipping the Dwarven boxing game... "Get up! Get up!" [furiously tapping keyboard...]
As for "looting bodies" pretty sure it's the same drop system. No reason to make us click on a corpse to find stuff. Drops are, essentially, "looting bodies."
And nice find on the flower... gives me hope. Maybe the Flute will be useful, too.

Yes, 'bout time Eles can summon stuff. Yeah!
I've got a bad feeling the RED Asura staff is a weapon that can be entered into your Hall of Monuments.
New color + that other video that said we can only store GWEN weapons in HoM = bad feeling.

Yes and no... it also seems like an expanded content idea... side-things to do in game that are completely off the 'beaten path' and can be accomplished at any time. As much as I would love to put my Platinum Longbow (sigh... I love that thing...) in the HoM I can see the fun in trying to find these "red" weapons... maybe even equip all the new heroes with one? I got the impression looking at the video that there might be one weapon per class to find and put in the HoM, but only time will tell.
Summon Ice Imp... nice.
So... we can get polymock pieces as drops? Sweet! I wonder if there will be rare pieces and the like. Think I heard that somewhere... I wonder what the polymock market will look like, and if we'll need to have them in inventory to play?

Conjure frost smacked foes with cold damage, and we could summon an ice imp if we wished, which certainly did.
