  I'd like to second that.  Any shop that'll allow you to check out a 
game before buying it is a rarity now, because they get abused by kids who
use them as arcades.  Any shop that'll allow you to check out a PC game
that has to be installed is a gem.
  Unfortunately, demos aren't always ideal.  Once or twice I've had to
cross my fingers when buying a game I've seen a demo of, saying "I hope
it's a bit more varied than the demo.."
