I'll be testing out the demo this time unlike the times before where I downloaded the demo merely to sate my appetite but afterwards knew I'd be getting the game even though there were some bugs. For RTW I was so enamoured with the game from the press (remember the BBC gameshow style series with the RTW engine playing out historical battles?) I knew I"d get the game as soon as it came out. For M2TW picked it up because I had high hopes from MTW and had played the demo, but I was hesitant...

For Empire, I'll test the demo to see if it'll be worth my time to get the game rather than assume it's a foregone conclusion.
