Download Zuma from Popcap.com. Also DX-Ball 2 is alot of fun.

thief 3, max payne 2, far cry demos are all fun.

 

[qckbeam]

Thief: Deadly Shadows, without a doubt. The demo is good, but honestly, it doesn't even come close to showing how great this game really is. I just reached a level known as Shalebridge Cradle (that wasn't a spoiler) and all I have to say is....wow. It's really an amazing game, and this is coming from a huge fan of the first two.

For some reason the game just runs like crap on my machine. I can run Far Cry, Splinter Cell, and other new games beautifully but when it comes to these new Thief and Deus Ex games the framerate is just terrible. I don't think the engine agress with my computer.

It's bizarre, my Card + driver combo seems to be wubberly when it comes to Thief III and Invisable War, and even Halo.. I can run all of these, maxed out, with no FPS drop :O

I'm running a 9800SE with the Omega drivers, to softmod it to a 9800.

 

[KagePrototype]

If you want some nice puzzle adventures, I reccommend Broken Sword (1, 2 or 3), Beneath The Steel Sky, Monkey Island (1, 2, 3 or 4), Grim Fandango or Sam and Max.

Soldiers: Heroes of WWII

Very tough the first time you play it, but it's great once you figure out how it all works.

 

[Venmoch]

UFO:Aftermath

Its like XCom, but modern day and cooler!

 

[Direwolf]

All the Call of Duty demos are most definitly worth it.

heres a tip.. if you have a PC that isnt made from a rock (or other prehistoric materials) then dont get the grim fandigo demo. i played it and it felt like a great game, but then it crashed (probally because i have win XP, not 95) and sent my PC into a wird state of hazyness... in other words it restarted and refused to play the demo, and the only way i could uninstal the deom (it didnt show up in the add/remove programs list) was to start up the demo and click uninstall. but it wouldnt start....

i got round it in the end though

 

[Foxtrot]

Americas Army, I have been playing demos for about 6 weeks now and I am so bored....

 

[Zuckerhutbomber]

Outcast, quite old, but for its time amazing graphics. It's from 1999 and I think you could pick up a copy somewhere, it's very cheap, my brother bought a copy only about a week ago for only 2,50 Euro.

 

[Frank]

thief demo url please

Thief 3 - 3DGamers

Thief 3 - FileShack

Thief 3 - HappyPuppy

 

[Harryz]

The demo's I would recommend:
Far Cry
Painkiller
Halo
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

 

[Frank]

Good call, Harryz!
Those are some great games!

 

[Harryz]

@Frank - Thanks.

Also Hitman 2 and Tom Clancey's Rainbox Six: Raven Sheild were great demo's aswell.

 

[blahblahblah]

I find demos are a waste of my time unless it's a strategy demo.

Anyways, just go to your local PC gaming store and pick up some older titles for $10. You get a full game for the price of a movie ticket. The only problem is that the games are a little bit dated, but the gameplay is still there.

 

[Rico]

Try the Ground Control 2 demo. Its an amazing game.

No One Lives Forever 1 & 2.. I find it extremely disturbing that such few people have noticed it and tried it out.. I loved it from the first level in NOLF1 to the ending credits in NOLF2..

I loved No One Lives Forever. I think it was a game that did not recieve as much credit as it should have. NOLF was a great game. Loved the Scottish guy
