Battlestations: Pacific demo coming April 30

We know we've been lax in our coverage of Battlestations: Pacific, and we hope you can forgive us. We're intrigued by a return to the game's signature blend of action and strategy, but it's just ... well, it looks like an old man game. We're sorry, but it does. The Joystiq staff, made up entirely of septuagenarians, is interested, but we didn't think the youngsters would be.

We're breaking the cycle today, though, by reporting that a demo for the game will arrive on Xbox and PC on April 30. Stock up on Aspercreme for your soon-to-be-cramping thumbs accordingly.
