Far Cry IP demo arrives on XBL

Demo of Ubisoft's shooter slinks onto Xbox Live five months after its release; multiplayer sample weighs in at 344MB.

Though most predators have to be hot on the tail or even one step ahead of their prey, one certain Predator is making its move a bit tardy. The demo for Ubisoft's Far Cry Instincts Predator for the Xbox 360 was released today, more than five months after the retail game was released.

The 344MB download gives potential buyers a taste of the game's multiplayer mode, which supports fragging action between 16 players. There are five game modes to play, including steal the sample, seek and secure, predator, chaos, and team chaos.

Though many may dismiss the demo as being late, Ubisoft is likely pushing the game's recent price drop. Far Cry Instincts Predator is rated M for Mature and now retails for $39.99. For more information, read GameSpot's review.

Hmm...I'll try the FarCry demo. I'm a little burned-out on FPSs and this isn't a new title, but I just want to see how it's like.

Trong: If postage was free I would send you my copy of F.E.A.R. - I haven't played it since the day it came in the mail, heh. Honestly, I actually forgot about it until you mentioned it. Take note that it's not that it is a bad port, it's just that I'm not very interested in getting into more FPSs right now. I should probably give it another, more serious chance before we get onslaught with new games this fall, but I'm think I'm going to be overwhelmed (not that I mind :)).

I actually loved farcry. Team Chaos mostly when you dont have the host making all the armor and everything full. Because then you just run out of ammo and it gets boring. 8 players max would be good.

Far Cry original is coming to the 360 and PS3, I've seen some screens, just looks like PC version

OMG!!! :omg:

I just d/l the new PGR deck for UNO (100 MSP) and it's lots of fun! :yes:

the soundtrack (kind of techno/house) is just right for the ambient, the background display images from the cities in PGR3 and change from time to time, the cards have images from the cars in PGR3 and have a little animation in one of their corners and when you play them they sound like a car accelerating but the coolest thing is the addition of a new command card called Gotham TV (50 points) which allows to view a player's hand and then you can use it as a wild card! :woot: :drool:

it just feels like a different game and the music helps a lot to get you in the mood for a long night of UNO on XBL... :happy: :yes:

NHL 07 Demo is Live, Sort of

Sorry hockey fans. Shootout only.

by Jonathan Miller

September 7, 2006 - The NHL 07 demo is live on Xbox Live Marketplace. But let's define "demo" for a moment.

If by demo you mean an abbreviated version of the full retail game that gives you an accurate idea of how the final game will play, then you'll be disappointed with this NHL 07 demo.

Sure, the Shootout mode is slick and a great way to learn EA's new Skill Stick control scheme, which is as fun as we've ever played in a hockey game. But we were hoping for at least a quarter of gameplay with at least two playable teams. We buy hockey games for hockey, not shootouts. This is like releasing a demo of Madden where all you do is kick field goals.

That said, the demo does let you take control of either Edmonton or Carolina and play through a fun and intense gamemode. It's just over way too quickly. And in the few times we played through the shootout, the demo locked up and froze, no pun. When it comes to free demos, we are hoping for a lot more from EA in the future.

The demo is available now and free to download on the Marketplace. NHL 07 hits retail shelves on September 12.

That sucks only shootout mode :no:

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
