I recently installed several demos.
I will type in here their extra mini reviews. For now just 3.



Hellgate London:
Good things about it...setting, very smooth.
Bad things about it...graphics like Deus Ex, horrible animation, enemy doesn't see you till you can kick its ass, a futuristic rifle that doesn't shoot as far as old muskets, levels that feel like a FPS from 10 years ago. Not scary at all.
Reuse of the same graphics and "rooms" even in the same level. Horrible textures. All the above with graphical settings set to max.
All the hype about freedom, about graphics, about the game itself, gone to hell.
Grade: 1.5/5

FEAR Perseus Mandate:
Good things: Weapons and animation remain cool. Enemies that can and do scare you.
Bad things:graphics haven't aged too well. I haven't played the original FEAR for a long time, but if they use the same graphics then, wow, time hasn't been good to it. Still, fun to play!
Grade: 3/5


Age of Empires III-The Asian Dynasties:
It feels exactly like all the previous games in the Age of series. Better graphics and much better way to handle production, but, still the same game. If you liked the previous ones, you should like this one. If not, they this will not change your mind.

3/5
