Hi Charles, I also baught LW and Shades of Doom, but not immediately. I must have had the demo of Shades of Doom for three or four months before I baught it. Main reason was because I had restricted use of area 1, and it was like a mini game. However, as messages came in on the GMA list about fighting cyborgs, blobs, temperal disturbances, not to mention the boss I realised I needed to have the complete game. Judgment Day is another example of a game which can be played lots before the customer buys it. Sure you will miss out on the trophies, killing the boss, but the levels you do get is basically a mini game. Now, TC was another matter. Even though I would have baught the game anyway I was frustrated to no end being restricted to 10 minutes. If you were quick you could defeat the demo, but it also put a restriction on planning your attacks carefully and doing any advanced strategies such as hide in the woods until a tank or chopper passes by and ambush them from cover and stuff like that.
