Each side must try to capture those nodes in enemy territory and push the other team back into their base.

In this variant each of the power nodes must be captured in order, and must be protected. While controlling territory sounds like something out of Day of Defeat (or other FPS games), it is actually quite different. It goes by the name "Onslaught" and the map included with the demo (ONS-Torlan) basically presents a battlefield with 5 strategic points (power nodes) which must be controlled by each respective team over the course of the match. The somewhat chunky 200MB download has really captured my interest, and one game style in particular is what I would like to share with you today. The new Unreal Tournament 2004 demo ( UT2004 Website) was recently released by Epic Games (in conjunction with Digital Extremes). "Main Screen Turn On!" Bring on "Onslaught!" True, UT2004 is not the typical historical recreation of combat, but it IS combat nonetheless, and if you can set aside the sci-fi approach to this first person shooter, I think you will get your money’s worth.

I leave that to the professionals! However, I do have time for "single-serving" overviews of some of the games and demos I come across?and while far from in-depth, maybe my musings will be enough to help you decide whether it is worth spending your own time downloading and investigating.
