The attack of the demos

Somewhere out there a switch has been turned on. A game excutive has decided that we are ready for more content, or a marketing guy has read the tea leaves and found us wanting more games to play. After a long drought, where game demos were rare, we suddenly face a barrage of downloads. The latest sample of gaming goodness will be Dungeon Lords, a title that the publisher insists is highly anticipated. Actually, it does sound like it could be fun. Dungeon Lords claims to be the first first-person-shooter-type roleplaying game, with an RPG flavor and FPS
controls. The story is crafted by D.W. Bradley, known for writing the Wizardry series. We all know that a good book writer doesn't necessarily make a good game writer, but we can always hope. The demo will be available on September 1st.
