Windows Marketplace has a few free games you can download including Age of Empires, Grand Theft Auto, Doom, and more.

Some are demo versions.

- Click here and scroll down to see the games.
 
Thanks, Spoofee :)

It looks like it has some cool games.
 
the problem is

i cant figure out which are full games and which are demos.

i dont want to waste my time downloading it for 3 hours, then learning how to play the game and getting very interested in the game....

..only to realize ive got a demo after 2 hours of play.
 
freaking awesome. gnna try out GTA right now, says its free!
 
it said that i have no SuperVGA chip running. im guessing this is a graphics card problem...

i have an nVidia GeForce Go 7300 w/ turbocache.

Sometimes it will say if it's a demo in the game description, or in the reviews. Another way to find out is to look at the installation file name. (It usually says demo if it's a demo)

Grand Theft Auto is all about maintaining your street cred as a criminal. The local crime bosses send you out on missions ranging from carjacking to kidnapping to drug running. The more missions you complete successfully, the longer you retain and/or advance your criminal status. This demo version includes the first four missions of the game, and imposes a six-minute time limit on gameplay.

At least its free tho.

The last column on the right will say "free" if it's a free game. Also, most games that are not full versions say "demo" right in the game title.

If you are unsure if the game is "completely" free, simply click on the game, and then there's a link that says "View full product specification". In the full description, there's an entry called "limitations". If there are any limitations to the demo (only a certain number of levels, only a certain amount of play time, etc), then you'll see it listed there.

Also, it helps to click on the "price" column heading to sort all games by price from lowest to highest. This way, it will show only the free games first.
 
Interesting find =).

It baffles me why they don't have GTA full on their site. It was released by Rockstar for free a while ago.
