Crackdown Keys to the City is now also available (Free-For-All Pack - FREE) as well as the Weapons Pack (gettin' Busy Bonus Pack - 800pts) There is also a theme (Crackdown Justice Theme) but I dont know if thats new or not?

i can't seem to edit my previous post.. but the blacksite demo is pretty good, the shootout at the gas-station was great, lots of stuff can be shot to bits (like the pillars and some cover) and it was very hectic. also the last bit that went slowmo had me wowing :p

Yup, thought blacksite was very good, pity I spoiled it a bit by downloading a movie file from fileplanet yesterday which was basically the whole thing, but it didnt spoil it that bad was still awesome to play .

Blacksite was pretty cool actually! There was some hideously low res textures and quite alot of slowdown, but if they fix that, this could turn out to be quite a cool game.

Yeah I noticed the slowdown too, mostly when a lot of action took place on screen, ran very smooth besides :)

I too was also pleasantly surprised with Blacksite, although I can say it was and has been on my Radar thanks to our News department ;) With that said, the slowdown absolutely needs to get fixed, as it was truly awful in certain places. Perhaps the worse slowdown I have seen yet on a 360 game.

I definitely agree on the slow down. Some nicer interactivity with the environment would be nice. I kept butting bottles in the gas shop, hoping to see them topple over :p. Other than those two things, the demo was awesome. Just... WAY too short. Felt like only three minutes long.

Eternal Sonata is available on the Japanese marketplace. So if you have a Japanese account, you can grab it. It's all in English as well so it's perfectly playable. It's breathtaking. Fantastic music :yes: .

I agree! This brings back memories of Star Ocean to me. Very nice feel to the game.

Edit: I just find it hillarious that the main character is from a town called Ritardando :rofl:

Codemasters have announced that we should expect a Colin McRae: DiRT demo to be on the marketplace for download sometime tomorrow, 24th May. The demo will feature three different events and three tracks

Yep, should be up at 9AM GMT (source).

I look forward to trying it out :).

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
