Fantastic, I'll have to get this

Just had a go, not many people playing it, unsurprisingly. Not bad though, doesn't really look any different to the PC version apart from an added depth of field and motion blur effects, and some rather nice decals. Think I'll be giving it a miss, got very bored with BF2 a long time ago.

Oh and you have to register with EA before you can play the demo - which is online play only - but its all done automagically.

Yeah I quite like BF2; got me doing that one-more-go thing.

I was amazed the demo is only 350mb-ish - PGR3 was 1.3GB!!! WTF? Where is all the data in the PGR3 demo?!??!

Oh, and GRAW demo out too....????

Wow, it's playable now, but the sound is totally fucked.

Star Wars Battlefront II was the only black-box game I still put online ... I guess I should think about moving my gamesaves over to my modded xbox and make room for a new machine in there.

I thought it was playable, but just too difficult for me.

Major Nelson has a video interview here:

He talks about the XNA game developing system (open to all coders, not just big companies), which may be of interest to peeps on here.

As spotted by Sir_LANS-a-lot:

Do you have a horse in â€˜Oblivionâ€˜? (The answer is yes if you completed the first main quest) If so, you can now download a horse armor pack and get your ride looking sharp. This will cost you 200 points, and is only available in US, Canada, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand.

There's two types to choose from; steel or elven, the first one is free.

You can have the armour on more horses for 500 gold each.

From the stables at Imperial City.

Here's some screenies of the upgrade:

Maybe you could put the armour on and then slowly take it off
