HL2, Jump to Lightspeed Demos
HomeLAN has details on newly available demos of two of the most interesting late-2004 releases. The folks over at Valve have released a Half-Life 2 demo, available where you download stuff, and FilePlanet has available a demo version of Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed should you want to try it out for 10 days.
Those of us whose wives might be buying it as a Christmas present.
Oh, sorry, you said geek.
This is for those people who live in the altered reality that Halo 2 is still the best FPS ever, and Halo 1 was unique in some way.
The demo torrent can be found on 3dgamers here
What are we going to do tonight Brain?
I can't dl it in Steam since I already have the full version and Steam isn't listing it in the avaliable games, however from other people's statements the Demo is basicly a few of the first levels and a bit of Ravenhome. No new content.
The one who uses a different OS than Windows on non-x86 hardware, which isn't supported by HL2 or any emulators out there.
Keep an eye on Gametab's Frugal Gamer and you should be able to pick it up for ~$35 ($40 here). Whatever you pay, it's worth every penny.. it even just won Gamespy's GOTY award and a number of other awards (best character - Dog!).
I just checked fileplanet and it doesn't appear to be new content. Thats a shame I really enjoyed Half-Life: Uplink as well.
