FIFA Manager 09: Demo is limited to the first divisions of six countries (the full game will include 67 divisions in 41 countries), with a limited number of stadiums (4 compared to the more than 30 in the final game) and there are no authentic 3D player heads, no commentary, no stadium editor and no club facilities. Also several game modes of the full game (like National Team Mode, Multiplayer, Create a Club or the Action Mode) and the new match prognosis feature are disabled. This demo will end after 90 days within the game. You can load and save your game and you can continue your save game with the full game.
Feyruna 2: The Druids: Arcade/melee game where all the levels contain numerous Druids to be activated and a Dark Crystal that slowly gains power as time goes by.
Biology Battle: Novaleaf Game Studio has released a demo for Biology Battle, a unique take on the classic space shooter genre. Take control of a medical nanobot during it’s mission inside of a target cell. Avoid the cell’s defenses, and survive long enough to complete your mission.

Both demos give players a chance to experience the mystical Celtic atmosphere and peek into the world of a lonely teenage girl named Rhiannon. In Demo #1, players play Chapter 1: Arrival, where they may explore the remote Welsh farmstead known as Ty Pryderi. In Demo #2, players can have a go at Chapter 5: Boswell’s Office, an underground office located beneath Ty Pryderi. Check out more about this game by looking over our previous posts.
