MechWarrior 4
Stomp inside the FASA universe with one of the year's most visually arresting titles, brought to you by Microsoft. Boasting some of the best physics, most stunning animations, and brightest explosions in the series, the missions of MechWarrior 4 are a true delight for anyone wishing to show off their system. This 250MB demo is not available anywhere else, and will deliver hours of missile-launching futuristic warfare. (T)

Oni
In the making for over three years, Oni delivers a mixture of hand-to-hand combat and long-range weapons in a world based on Japanese-style anime. The look is crisp and the action intense. Install the demo and see what Bungie (the maker of forthcoming shooter Halo) has under its sleeves! (RP)

Rune
Experience a Viking adventure of warring gods and soldiers, each as strong and devout as the other. Avenge the wrongful death of your father using melee weapons in a highly tweaked Unreal Tournament engine! (M)

No Escape
Star in the biggest, baddest, most popular television show on the planet, where deathmatch skills make you money and lack of talent gets you shot. Enjoy single and multiplayer modes on three different maps. (RP)

FIFA 2001
Check out this latest incarnation of the best-selling soccer (or "football", as the Brits mistakenly say) series. The field is a simulation in its own right, and the stands and sidelines come alive with chanting and penalty calls. (E)
