Here are a few freely downloadable PC demos for some upcoming games that I’ve been meaning to post about. Just released today is the demo for upcoming Lord of the Rings: Battle For Middle-Earth II, the sequel to EA’s popular real-time strategy game. The Movies is another interesting sim game from Peter Molyneux and Lionhead Studios released late last year where you build a movie studio from the ground up and work through various eras of film history. Also check out Activision’s new first person shooter Timeshift, and the latest Rainbow Six game, Lockdown. Click below to download any of these demos for your PC now.
