It's been a relatively slow week here at Big Download. That said, we've still seen a handful of interesting files. The biggest rage: the demo version of GRID, a critically acclaimed racing game. We also have the 1.1 patch on hand. If racing isn't your thing, though, there are alternatives.

Yeah, we're twiddling our thumbs for the Spore creature creator too, but why not kill time with these other diversions? Have a great weekend!

	GRID eBay Motors Demo 1.1 Try out this acclaimed racing game from Codemasters, which includes excellent replay features.
	GRID 1.1 Retail Patch This fixes several bugs and performance issues in the retail version of GRID.
	Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice Demo The young supersleuth challenges the criminal underworld of Venice as she tracks down a thief in this adventure game.
	SimCity Societies Demo SimCity Societies reinvents the SimCity franchise by focusing on the social values of your city over economic concerns. EA released this demo to promote the upcoming Destinations expansion, and the SimCity Box compilation.
	LEGO Batman HD Nightwing Trailer Batman is back, but this time he's more funny than threatening. If you've previously played LEGO Star Wars or LEGO Indiana Jones, though, you know that's a recipe for awesome!

Her Interactive's series of adventure games based on the long-running Nancy Drew book series have become very popular with some of them appearing on the NPD list of best selling PC games. Now a demo for the newest game in the series has just been released. Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice takes place (natch) in the city of canals and love in Italy as the teenage detective tries to solve a series of thefts of priceless artifacts.

While the full game (the 18th in the game series) won't be available until July (at the bargain price of $19.99) you can try out a sample demo of the game right now via a download here at Big Download. Just don't think too much of Pamela Sue Martin while you play the demo
