Call of Duty, did both the demos and was impressed, then I went off to buy GTA:SA but found out they didn't have the game there, but I did saw CoD and the expensionpack UO, was a great deal.

Also, FEAR.

Sytzepunk

Same here.  I had NO interest in getting a WW2 shooter, but after playing the 360 demo I drove to the store and bought it.  Of course, as I posted about a year ago it has worked in the opposite direction many more times -- where I will want a game and then not get it after having played the demo.

Not many demos convince me to buy the game, but the recent DiRT demo has got me excited about the game.

I recently played the Lost Planet demo - a fun and different game indeed, but I don't know if I'm sold on it yet.

Fight night round 3 demo made be rent the game (twice) and eventually buying it after the price was already $29.99.

Saints row demo made me buy the game without renting it first and I ended up regreting it and sold it to someone.

 Recently I've played the demo for DiRT many times and am now waiting for it to come out so i can buy it.

Prior to playing the demo for Alpha Prime I was thinking, yeah, this could perhaps be good, but just like Chrome and a few other FPS games, it wasn't that great, didn't offer anything new.

Most of the retail games which I bought was preluded by beating demo. Today I tried out Forza Motorsport 2. Another must have for me.
