Apparently, you only get the time limit on the Crackdown demo once you have levelled up something twice. If you don't level up you don't get a timer. I can't verify that though as i'm still waiting for the thing to download.

Definitely picking up Crackdown.

It seems like it will be a great time killer, and I am already hooked on jumping from Rooftop to Rooftop.

Most of the time I spent I was collecting Agility Orbs, did two of the missions as well, and I had more than enough fun.

Probably will go preorder it sometime this week.

I'm not too sure about Crackdown to be honest. I've never been a great fan of sandbox games and I always get pretty bored of them in the end. I want to like Crackdown though so I can justify the price and Halo 3 beta :p I have it on preorder for now and decide once I play some more.

There is no doubt the game looks fantastic though and I can see the appeal it has, it just doesn't hold my attention very long :/

I liked the demo, except the time limit thing. They could have just limitted how much you could increase your strength. I didnt even try any of the missions, i just had fun jumping on stuff. I got 50 or so of those agility things, i could have gotten more but i didnt realize what they did until i got the 30 minute warning. I was able to jump 25ft and throw 1,000lb or something like that.

hmm i really like battlestations midway, but im getting stupid lag whenever i play the demo, i dont know if its cause its a demo, a crap host or a problem at my end,

im on 2mb, have my 360 connected to my pc and connection is bridged, then my computer wirelessly connected to router, the lag is stupid, like not 5 seconds, it seems like minutes! ill be there in my battleship and i always test to see if there is lag, by using the AA guns in the water, once i did it, and nothing happened for 5 minutes...

i just cant seem to have any more fun with this demo!!!

Ok,

I had a quick play with the demo. So far first impression is it looks similar to GRAW, but then you start to notice the tweaks and enhancements.

For example the Droid to scan areas, is now manually controlled when you scan, and you see an top down view of the map, and you move the droid around to scan what you want to see etc. Pretty cool.

All in all it looks very polished, and i like it so far.

i wish it was a MP demo but when is the release date?

Does anyone know if they will be using the Engine from the single player into the MP yet? the one thing i really didnt like was how SP was differnt than MP engine wise and you couldnt do all the same things

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

      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?
