    There really is no way around large demos, aside from scaling back content a ton. High res textures, complex level geometry, high quality sound, all of this adds to the demo's size.

    Heck, most demo's (not all, but many) are pretty short already, making them any smaller would defeat the purpose of even having a demo.

    My advice, if you don't have broadband subscribe to the CD-Rom (or DVD or whatever it is now) version of PC Gamer and get your demos and trailers that way. Yeah, it sucks to essentially pay for demos, but such is life..

    Note to publishers: gigantic oversized pages made entirely of Flash piss me off, especially when they have loud sound/music I can't turn off.

    Some of the highest points in Sands of Time were that 1) it had a sense of class, and 2) it never fell to some of the worst cliches in most games today.

    This demo features rock music for the title, and assshots and wiggly breasts for the first boss.

    Way to screw up the resurrection of a great franchise and poop out another craptacular action game. Fuck you guys!
