Far more important is the fact that the game demos here begin
downloading instantly and speedily. This tempted us to try out several game
demos we otherwise wouldn't have bothered waiting in line at FilePlanet for. Of
course, this is a paid service just like that website's premium servers, so fast
service is expected. Having several downloads going at once worked just fine.
The available content on the 'maps/expansion packs' section of the 'download'
tab was nicely presented, but rather limited, suggesting that users would be
better off resorting to their gaming communities for downloads of this
sort. While enthusiasts of big time games like UT2004 and Half-Life 2 will
be satisfied, those seeking mods of less popular games will need to look
elsewhere.
During the course of this review, content on the demo and add-ons pages was
updated several times, which bodes well for Grease Monkey being able to offer
subscribers a worthwhile experience over the course of the year.
The final tab, 'What's new' offers a quick overview of the latest demos and
patches that have been released.
