BioWare has announced that the demo for Mass Effect 3 will be available for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on February 14. The demo will feature the game's opening segment, during which Earth is being invaded by the powerful alien Reapers.

BioWare's announcement states that plenty of customization options will be available during the demo, so we hope this means that character creation/customization will be available. Multiplayer co-op and Kinect functionality for Xbox 360 owners will also be included in the demo. Don't forget, playing the Mass Effect 3 demo will net players gear that can be used in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning as well.
