What are some good new PC games?
I am bored and I want to download some good demos and try out some games. I have some good Xbox games and I am still playing many of my PC games but I want to try some new ones out. There doesn't seem to be many good games as of late on Gamespot (check THIS out
 ). Here is a list of games that I already have:Medal of Honor AA/SP Call of Duty Rise of Nations Age of Mythology Age of Empires The Conquerers Flight Simulator 2000 Combat Flight Simulator 3 Sim City 3000 Roller Coaster Tycoon + Loopy Landsacpes/corckscrew follies expansion Need for speed I, II, III, High Stakes, Porche Ulneashed, Hot Pursuit 2 demo Starwars Episode I Racer The Sims Midtown Madness Halo Trial

Have you gotten Need for Speed Underground? I seem to recall someone playing a demo for it, though I could be mistaken.
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun? If you like FPS's there's Deus Ex, and DX Invisible War, Max Payne 1 or 2, and GTAIII PC; those are all fun, though I don't know if they're your cup of tea. Any particular genre you like? Judging by your list it seems strategy... |

I like FPS, strategy, adventure, some racing, simulation and others. I should have said that initially. I already have the NFS Underground demo. I forgot to post that. MOH Rising Sun is for consoles. The next one for the PC will be Pacific Assault in April. I will check out some of the games you listed. I never liked the Grand Theft Auto series.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Star Wars: Knight Old Republic Max Payne 2 Other ones include: Jedi Academy Ghost Recon: Island Thunder (for XBOX also) And you can never go wrong with a good game from the Unreal series (but I'm a little bias there lol). BTW: That game in the link rocks! lol

I'm looking for downloadable demos for the PC. Prince of Persia doesn't have a demo according to Gamespot. I will try the other two. Keep them coming.

Sorry about that. The first two I listed are supposed to both be games of the year.
P.S.: The d/l section for the big rigs game has a patch that brings the game upto version 1.0! Oh my. |

If you just want the demo, there's a console game out called Beyond Good and Evil. It's a pretty nifty game from what I saw...which reminds me, I gotta finish that demo
EDIT: I just remembered Starscape, from Moonpod. You can play a 10-minute demo, you shoot ("mine") asteroids, build ships and fight off aliens, sort of a new-age Asteroids I guess. Last edited by DarkHorse; 01-17-2004 at 10:24 PM. |

The Battlefield 1947 demo did not impress me. It was horrible. If you can tell me that the full game is much better then I may buy it. I know it's very popular but that demo left a bad taste in my mouth. I also have America's Army which I forgot to list.

If you played the single player BF demo, then yes, I can see what you'd be turned off. It's only good for multiplayer.

I will have to check out Battlefield. I did download the Prince of Persia Demo and Far Cry. Prince of Persia works fine. However, I am very dissapointed with the performance of Far Cry. Is this a DX9 game? I don't see any reason other than that as to why it would perform so poorly on my system.

I would start FarCry with medium graphic settings for everything and 1024x768 w/ 32bit color. Does it still lag? I have a 4200 and it runs fine.

I pressed the "auto detect" button and it set everything to low. It works OK but looks horrible. There is something wrong.
