Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster seems like the perfect game for very young children, or grown men who still enjoy the subtly subversive genius of Cookie Monster. If you're hankering for Double Fine's madness in adorable, kid-friendly dressing, good news: the game's demo is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The game promises life lessons like building friendships and overcoming your fears. (Fears like, say for example, fluffy monsters.) It's due this October, usually a no-man's land for kid-centric titles next to the slew of big-budget action games. Then again, if you haven't heard of this whole "Sesame Street" thing, it's a pretty big deal. If anything stands a chance against Batman, it's the Count, so we think it will be just fine. Check out a gameplay trailer below.
