Play Wimbledon in Top Spin Demo
Experience the thrills of getting sweaty with Maria Sharapova... and some other guys.
Strawberries, cream, rain, and the crushing defeat of Tim Henman - these are the things that have come to typify the annual to-and-fro that is Wimbledon. And while you may not be able to saunter up to women's title favourite Maria Sharapova at will, thanks to the wonders of Xbox Live and 2K Games' Top Spin 2, you'll be able to spend a night with her for free.
To celebrate the most prestigious event on the pro tennis circuit, 2K Games has released a Wimbledon-flavoured demo of its recent racquet hit Top Spin 2 to the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Not surprisingly, the action takes place on centre court at Wimbledon, and it lets you pick from four players: Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams.
One quick note: the demo weighs in at around half a gig, so you might want to get the download started before you run off to limber up for your date.
