Thursday Demo Theatre

Well we figure its about time we start throwing in a few more daily features around these parts. Thursday will now be getting the PC demo release treatment as Friday is the media roundup day. So what demos have come out in the last week? Let's take a look:

• Quake 4 Multiplayer Demo Support for Quake 4 has been admirable post-release, with continued patches. Its multiplayer demo is worth downloading just to see the Quake 4 version of a classic Quake II DM map. The comments, however, weren't so kind.
• Harry Potter And The Order Of The Pheonix Demo As far as Harry Potter games goes this one has been greeted surprisingly well. If you're into this sort of thing, it's worth checking out or sharing with the kids. I had a choice to either play this demo or hit myself with a hammer a few days ago. I chose the hammer. It greeted me well.
• Bee Movie Game Demo This one kind of flew under the radar (yeah, I said it). Unsurprising, since the release of the demo comes strangely early given the game's website notes it isn't planned for release until November 2007.
