I agree, thats the best place to start, the demo. Though it'll only give you a taster, normally its enough to get the basic jist and style of the game, enought to let you're child know if he's going to like it or not. Another place would be game review magazines and probably other people who have played it. But another good stratagy shooter is Command and Conqueror Generals, its okay but I can't compare it to Act of War 'cos i haven't played Act of War. Or if you're looking for something a little different I'd recommend Warcraft 3 or Age of Mythology (both are still stratagy).

This is a RTS, not an FPS. a starategy shooter is an FPS. You don't shoot anyhting in an RTS.
