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 :).

Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter.

They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery.
