Some nice demo links: FEAR, AoE3, Dystopia, Waste Land

FEAR:
-----

The graphics are very impressive, it brought my super-duper machine to its knees, almost rivals HL2. It also has some very nice bullet-time effects and Matrix like explosions (you know, where the geometry of the world bends with the explosion). You can download it from yahoo videogames:

AoE3:
-----

Also the Age-of-Empires 3 demo is out, its very much like RoN (Rise of Nations) but a significantly beefed up graphics engine. They claim they are the first to do Havoc rag-doll physics in a Strategy game. I did not like fact that you can not zoom-into action as much as you can in Warhammer40K, but still the details are impressive.

(Btw, videogame folks, when I searched for Age of Empires 3 I did not get a hit, you need to add an alias from III to 3, or add an also-try suggestion).

Dystopia:
---------

If you got Half-Life 2, then you gotta try the Dystopia expansion pack:

it turns HL2 into a game very similar to planetside, so there is different types of armors you can wear, and pick extra special powerups, etc.

C&C Generals ZH Waste Land Conflict:
------------------------------------

Finally, for the Strategy Fans, I recommend this clever expansion pack, it adds three new armies, Pakistan, India and Thai.
