MDK2 demo

The original MDK was a breakthrough game for Shiny, an innovative third person action game that looked gorgeous and introduced the world to the joys of the sniper rifle. Bioware are currently putting the finishing touches to a sequel to the classic game, and the demo is now available for download.

Weighing in at just over 80Mb, the demo should give you a taste of the wacky experience you can expect from MDK2, which lets you play as all three main characters from the first game with a mixture of action, adventure and stealth gameplay. Grab it now from your favourite download outlet -
