Sid Meier's Raildroads! Demo Released

Not much else to say about this one, other than go download it now!   The demo here offers you a tutorial and a small-ish section of a scenario map named Towson, that I believe offers singleplayer and 2 player multiplayer. The demo clocks in at 265 megs, and from what I can tell from early reviews, you should download the demo at once, or I will be angry. You won't like me when I'm angry.

Flight Simulator X Demo out tonight

Microsoft is apparently ready to release its Flight Simulator X playable demo. After seeing so much hype about its graphics, and the use it will eventually make of the upcoming DirectX 10 Application Programming Interface, it's finally going to be available to public in its first playable form as soon as tonight, in approximately 1h 25 minutes, as of this writing.

A countdown is available at source of the news, GameSpot. GameSpot also reports the demo will offer the location of St. Maarten, 2 airports and 3 missions of increasing difficulty, meaning it's a pretty complete demo.

UPDATE: It's out, though don't expect to play today. The servers are already struggling over the load, resulting in extremely slow speeds.

Fifa '07 Holds on at the Top

Despite an abysmal performance from England at the weekend FIFA fans weren't put off and continued to buy FIFA 07 making it number 1 in the UK charts this week. Sales of the title did slump 23 per cent, but with no notable new games the top 10 chart has no new entries in it.

The Xbox 360 only title, Project Gotham Racing 3 managed to break its way into the charts on the back of a bundle with the 360 console. UK gamers could be forgiven for holding out these next couple of weeks with the release of the ever popular Pro Evolution Soccer due before the end of the month.

Dr Kawashima's Brain Training continues to hover around the chart at eight, while Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy fought its way back up the charts to number two.

Crysis demo un-postponed, out now

You know how the Crysis demo was supposed to be delayed until tomorrow? Well, as it turns out, Crytek and EA have decided to release the demo one day "early," effectively un-postponing it. The demo is available on FileShack, and it will eventually go up on Nvidia's Nzone website, as well.



As we explained earlier, the demo includes "Contact," the first level from the full game's single-player campaign. Crytek has also tossed in its Sandbox 2 in-game editor, giving modders a chance to sharpen their mod-sticks before the full game comes out on November 16.

Crysis demo performance in-depth

Crysis is a highly anticipated first person shooter developed exclusively for the PC by Crytek, the makers of the award-winning Far Cry. The demo offers PC gamers a quick look at what will possibly be the most advanced FPS ever created, you just have to swallow the huge 1.8GB download first. Im sure many will agree that the demo is well worth the download though, offering the entire first level of the game which represents "roughly 45 minutes" of pure gameplay.

Today we are going to see how the various mid-range and high-end graphics cards handle this new and exciting first person shooter. There will also be some brief visual quality comparisons along with some CPU scaling and DX9 vs. DX10 performance charts. The single-player demo supports both DX10 and DX9 rendering in Vista while Windows XP users are limited to DX9. While the game has been said to include 64-bit support, the demo can only be run in 32-bit mode, so there are no 32-bit vs. 64-bit comparisons just yet.

As expected, id Software and Splash Damage have released the PC demo for their upcoming team-based multiplayer game, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. The demo can be nabbed over at FileShack and weighs in at a relatively reasonableby today's standard, at least727MB. Folks who download the demo will be able to enjoy the upcoming title's Valley map, which is playable either online with other players or with bots.



According to a Shacknews report from last week, minimum system requirements for the demo include a Pentium 4 2.8GHz or Athlon XP 2800+ processor, 512MB of RAM, a 128MB GeForce FX 5700 or Radeon 9700 graphics card, a DirectX 9.0c-compliant sound card, and a copy of Windows XP.



A note to users of AMD's latest Radeon HD 2000-series graphics cards, though: AMD has released a hotfix that it says improves performance in the Quake Wars demo. This hotfix is available for both Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Armed Assault Demo Released!

Thanks to Lovell for the heads up.

A 850+ meg demo for Bohemia Interactive's Armed Assault has been released today! The demo which is a multiplayer only demo offers a small-ish portion of the main island of Sahrani. It supports CTF, Coop and the CTI game mode. Coop mode supports 1-8 players, CTF supports 1-16 players and the CTI mode supports 1-60 players. The demo limits the selection of weapons, vehicles and units you can use.

This demo is in English and uses Gamespy for the in-game server browser. There are around 30 or more servers now, and several of them are running CTI and full at this moment. So you will have plenty of people to play with. Unfortunately the game does not offer any in-game help or tutorials so there is a large learning curve to start with. Operation Flashpoint veterans may have an easier time, then again maybe not. Enjoy folks!

EA experiments further with free, ad-subsidized games

EA announced today that it will be releasing a free online version of its Battlefield franchise, driven by advertisements and micro-transactions called Battlefield Heroes .



The main difference between Battlefield Heroes and FIFA Online is that there is no limit to the potential for in-game advertisements in the former. Ads in the football game are limited to only those companies who already are FIFA sponsors. The ads, fortunately, will appear in the front-end and not interfere with the aesthetics of the game.



Speaking of aesthetics, the graphics of the game has been reported to be simplified into a much cartoonier style, and gameplay is supposed to pare down the skill and strategy aspects.
