Any good new game demos?

[ultimatebob]

Are there any good demos out there for any of the new games that are coming out this month?

I was hoping for a downloadable demo of Battlefield 3, Skyrim, or Call Of Duty MW3, but it seems that the publishers don't even bother anymore. Bummer.

do pc gaming companies even do this any more? I have way more console demos than PC ones. although console ones are centrally located and easy to get to (PSN store).

Can't you go to OnLive and try out games for an hour?

I believe OnLive does do this, might wanna check it out. There was a thread about it earlier look it up! "OnLive is * SERIOUSLY* impressive" or something.

BEST demo is starcraft 2 imo. (but you'll have to be really into RTS).

You can play as Terran in selected maps online. but you CAN play against other races and your terran is not limited in anyway. you can play this forever.

Demos aren't completely dead. You can search on Steam and sort through an entire list of demos, sorted by release date.

Was going to mention the Space Marine demo. Also I'm pretty sure there's a demo for Trine, and once Trine 2 releases it'll probably make the demo available to the public as well. For now Trine 2 demo only available to pre-order customers.

Also Braid has one, it seems to be more common in smaller, indie games anymore. Which I guess isn't that surprising, smaller game probably means the demo is easier to put together and indie games benefit more from the extra exposure.

The demo for Hard Reset was a blast if you like FPS set in the Blade Runner world.

Wow... between the actual download and all the patches, this demo must be a 10 GB download! It better be good.
