What a week it has been! More accusations of GTA related crime sprees sweeping the globe, sadly losing the hilariously astute Bernie Mac, the Olympics starting off with a huge bang and a stabbing in China, Clay Aiken’s record producer giving birth to his child, and rumors of a curse surrounding “The Dark Knight” were flying across the internet like a banshee. What awaits us next week in the world of gaming and other things not as important (I jest) who knows.
What I DO know, is that only five demos hit FileFront this week and while that is a paltry sum, a couple of them seem to be pretty popular believe it or not.
So, without further ado, here they are:
- Ironclads: American Civil War: Playable demo of the historical naval simulator Ironclads: American Civil War
- Drakensang: The Dark Eye German: DTP Entertainment has released a playable demo of Drakensang: The Dark Eye, allowing you to try out this PC adaptation of Germany’s most popular pen & paper RPG.
- Lights of Dreams: The Angelical Blade 2.30: Xilvan (Xylvan) Design has released an updated demo of Lights of Dreams: The Angelical Blade.
- Candy World The Golden Bones Tome II v1.30: Xilvan Design has released a new demo for Candy World: The Golden Bones Tome II.
- Birth of America II : Wars in America: Birth of America II: Wars in America 1750-1815 follows the successful historical strategy videogame Birth of America, AGEOD’s American Civil War and Napoleon’s Campaigns.
The patches were aplenty as usual, and I have listed the most downloaded ones below. There were 17 in all, so check the full list on FileFront to see if one is available for your game.
- The Guild 2 Patch 1.4 – Protected
- Myth War II Online v1.0.4.23 Client Patch
- Halo Custom Edition 1.0.8.616
- Halo 2 v1.01 Revised Patch
- Atlantica Online Beta Patch
As always, for the full list of both demos and patches, click here and here. See you next week.
In your lead sentence, it’s “sadly losing” NOT “loosing.”
Geez!
Oh get a grip, who gives a shit?
Who gives a s**t?
Um, people who get paid to find mistakes like that, i.e. Copy Editors. Like myself =D
Jesus, my editor takes a day off and all hell breaks loose (see I can type when it suits my possessed fingers). Every one calm down, it’s fixed. Effing spell check screwed me again – no need for everyone to get hateful about it.
