There's an update to Call of Duty 2 up:

Call of Duty 2 will automatically update when you sign into LIVE. This update offers significant enhancements, including improved multiplayer performance, the ability to reserve friend slots in private game lobbies, post-game lobbies so friends can play longer, configurable host options and much more.

Oh, and another trailer of Ghost Recon.

Took an age to d/l, but I eventually got to have a play.

The tutorial at the beginning made me think of Pilot Wings!

I didn't complete the tutorial (time for

) so I don't know if the demo actually lets you have real dogfights.

Might download the Blazing Angels demo this evening, it's not reviewed massively well but it looks so pretty...

Edit - Hey! That's my line!

In fact, just watching the game in action, you're reminded more of fighting games such as Power Stone...

Nope.

I can see the new vids of G.R.A.W. but no demos

Nope. Just to make sure, I went through the 360 initial setup again last night and everything is set to UK.

Do you have a passport account? Did you check that?

I'd give support a call...

Yep - Just went to log in on the web mind and got this:

Which hasn't happened before - are M$ relocating the services to a new domain then?

The web site/forum/Live was down the other day, so maybe something is afoot.

I quite like Blazing Angels, there's a nice simplicity to the controls and gameplay, it certainly makes a change from GRAW.

kel · Post by **kel** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 6:41 pm 0

Yeah, I'm finding GRAW a bit hard to get into, the control options are all over the place and after about 45mins of play time I'm still struggling with them a bit. I like the way it's brutally hard though, keeps you on your toes. Still haven't finished the first level yet

Just had a quick go of the Blazing Angels demo. It seems ok, the graphics didn't really wow me and the gameplay is just what I expected really. Not my cup of tea.

Not massively impressed with the 360 so far, noticeable tearing (not sure if that's the right term) in both GWAR and the Blazing Angels demo, and both also suffer a bit from staggered updates where the scene appears to chug forwards a few frames from time to time.
