Well, I tried the 'Saints Row' demo today and I was actually impressed by what I saw. The gameplay videos I saw before trying the demo had me very skeptical but actually playing on an HDTV is something different. One thing I really like is how you can have multiple missions and such at the same time. And the controls are very fluid and smooth with a perfect layout. I'll be picking this up on release, if I can pull myself away from Madden :)

I know there has been a bit of a fiasco with this one, but anyone have the foggiest idea of when it'll hit the marketplace?? http://ign.knetiqa.com/nhl07demo.html <--- that says it's out for canadians but i'm in vancouver canada and i don't see the demo on the marketplace.

Anyone have a vague idea of when this demo might hit?

Just wondering what people think about the Test Drive unlimited demo and thier thoughts? I think its pretty good looks a hell of a lot better in Hi-Def compared to a normal screen. :) Pretty disappointed with the Motorbikes though don't think that they handle as well as they could (the cars seem to be a lot better for handling.) Or maybe I just can't drive them. ;)

Although one downfall I think is that the motorbikes are way too powerful, in races the motorbikes seem to leave all the cars back at the starting line by the time the motorbike is half way through the race. Just wondering what other people's thoughts on the demo are?

To be honest, I downloaded the 2nd Test Drive demo the day it came out and I still haven't tried it. I'm going to have to give it a try soon, though, as I felt the game had some potential if they tightened the controls a bit after trying out the first demo.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
