This article is for all gamers out there, or for the people who have some spare time in the weekend.

A couple of days ago I posted about The Crysis open Beta event. All keys are given away, only subscriber keys remain at this moment. But don't worry: If you're one of those people that don't have a key to play Crysis, I suggest you could play one of the following demos. A friend of me tipped me about these games (thanks!) as they are just released in the past couple of days.

I'm talking about the following games: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate and my personal favorite; Unreal Tournament III.

All of these games are First Person Shooters. If you like that genre, make sure you check out this list of free FPS games.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

War rages on in the fourth edition of Activision's acclaimed war game. For the first time in the series, Call of Duty moves away from WWII to the modern battlefield. Armed with an arsenal of advanced and powerful modern day firepower, players are transported to treacherous hotspots around the globe to take on a rogue enemy group threatening the world. As both a U.S Marine and British S.A.S. soldier fighting through an unfolding story full of twists and turns, players use sophisticated technology, superior firepower and coordinated land and air strikes on a battlefield where speed, accuracy and communication are essential to victory. The epic title also delivers an added depth of multiplayer action providing online fans an all-new community of persistence, addictive and customizable gameplay.
