    Unhappy Any good game demos for download ?

    Im quite bored at the moment.
    I have a lot of work to do, but I'm bored.

    Anyone got a url for any good games for download ?
    I downloaded mech warrior commander yesterday.
    100 meg it was. Waste of time.

    So anyone come across anything good ?

    Im clueless about new games these days becuase they all pretty much suck. Nothing new. Ill just stick with Tribes 2 and Jumpgate. At least until Star Wars Galaxies comes out!

    Well Im enjoying getting my ass kicked in Settlers III and Settlers IV, but I feel I need something a little different.

    I'd play sentience if it was up to spec....

    How about Max Payne....

    Three years back a young NYPD cop, Max Payne, came home one night
    to find his family senselessly slaughtered by a gang of drug-crazed
    junkies, high on a previously unknown synthetic drug. Now that same drug,
    Valkyr, has spread through the whole New York City like a nightmare plague,
    and Max Payne's on a crusade for revenge, out to get even.
    To Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, this new drug was evil incarnate,
    to be stopped at any cost. Max's boss and best friend, the only one who
    knew his true identity, has been murdered, and Max's been framed for the slaying.
    Everything ripped apart in a New York minute... Max Payne is a man with nothing to
    lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for
    murder, and now hunted by cops and the mob. Max is a man with his back against the wall,
    fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game.

    Prepare for pain...

    Just an opportunity for saying dongly thingy three times.

    Anyway, regarding the subject "Any good game demos for download?", Mr. Smiley might be able to remove the bold word. But I'm not Mr. Smiley. You'd have to ask or PM him.
