- Battlefield 2 Community Update - EA updated the Battlefield 2
website with a new
community update that offers some details on the upcoming version 1.2
patch for DICE's military shooter: "The first item is on the topic of
grenades. Players will still be able to toss grenades while jumping. Although
the ability to fire while jumping has been removed, players will still be able
to initiate a grenade toss prior to jumping and follow through with the toss,
thereby gaining themselves some extra distance."

- Onimusha 3: Demon Siege Demo - Typhoon Games offers an
Onimusha 3: Demon Siege demo (download
~ 101MB /
FileFront mirror). The website is Chinese, but the demo is mostly in

ever be...
- Warlords IV patch v1.04 -

Corleone family is going global at the end of March 2006. That's the time

- Majesco Officially Cancels Taxi Driver And Demonik - Majesco
Entertainment announced its
financial results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005, and the
numbers were drenched in red. In Majesco's quarterly financial conference
call,
company execs confirmed that they have indeed cancelled both Taxi Driver and
Demonik. Both games were announced during last May's E3 but have now
fallen victim to Majesco's financial problems and its switch to publishing
handheld and value priced titles. Demonik was to be a horror action game from
developer Terminal Reality based on concepts created by horror writer Clive
Barker. Dammit! I was looking forward to Demonik!
