I will be out of town for the rest of the week so enjoy this Tech demo of ID's new engine while I'm gone.

"The Beta has been a great success for us in terms of the sheer amount of data it allowed us to gather, for matchmaking, networking, general bug-bashing and of course some gameplay elements. As the Beta heads to the great software graveyard in the sky, it's vital to remember that things you got used to during these short few weeks, are almost certain to change. Some of those changes will be subtle, nuanced, perhaps even invisible. Others will be less subtle - with shifts in game types, weapon functionality, spawn points and map details."

Well the Halo 3 beta is over, and we discovered a lot of good things from it. 1) I can't wait to play the SP game. 2) Master Chief has a funky looking face. and 3) NEW ARMOR MODS! Well my time is over, and I didn't get to enjoy it very long but while I did, I was happy.

I haven't played Bomberman since I was in college on the SNES. I'm really looking forward to this game and am going to snag it once I get my 360 back.

A demo for Codemasters' deliciously dastardly game Overlord is now available on Xbox Live, with a PC version expected to follow early next week on the official site.

The publisher also confirmed a European release date of
29th June for both games.

The demo lets you romp around the tranquil area of Mellow Hills, unleashing your venom on the land by using your minion horde. We got a little confused yesterday when the US pretended that the taster had already been released, but you can rest assured now that we're telling the truth. Or pretending to.

Triumph Studios is the fiendish brain behind Overlord, and has refreshingly done away with the notion of being a goody; only evil or more evil is on the menu.

It's also devilishly fun, as we found out when we went to play the game. Find out more in our first impressions of Overlord.

WTF is with games getting demos I want to play when my 360 is dead?!?! This happened last year, and again this year when my 360 died. It is driving me nuts. I loved Dungeon Keeper growing up so this game has really piqued my interest with all the game sites referring to it as a spiritual successor to the Bullfrog games.

The official Shadowrun forums declare that a demo will be released, er, half an hour ago on Xbox Live Marketplace. So, 2am PDT.

There's no sign of it yet according to Internet hero Kristan Reed, and apparently there's no immediate plan for a Windows Vista version ("We haven't announced [it]").

But we do know what's going in the Xbox 360 one: the first three training chapters, bot and online multiplay, the Power Station level, Elf and Human races, four types of magic, three types of tech, and six weapons including the katana.

This may be for our friends across the ocean, but hopefully for us too! I can't verify as my 360 is awaiting it's 2rd respawn from Microsoft.
