The Vietcong Website, has a new patch for the Vietcong multiplayer demo, updating the demo to version 0.98. And here's what's new in this patch.

3dgamers.com: reports that after a beta demo last month, Papyrus and Sierra have now released the official demo for NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, again allowing you to take this imminent racing simulation sequel for a spin. As before, the demo offers the Michigan International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway tracks in testing session and single-race modes.

The failed 1993 U.S. military mission in Mogadishu, Somalia, lasted less than a day, but the conflict cost the lives of 18 U.S. soldiers, injured 84 more and killed hundreds of Somalis (soldiers and civilians). The operation-as part of the larger relief effort to reopen food lines to the region-was intended to capture key Somalian military leaders as prisoners and quickly hustle them out of the city. Within minutes of the mission's start, however, two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down in an ambush, crashing into the streets of Mogadishu. What began as a get-in, get-out surgical strike quickly turned into an every-man-for-himself fight for survival amid flying bullets and rocket-fired grenades, but also to recover the bodies of their fallen comrades.

It seems that latest released patch 1.3 for Battlefield 1942 has a built in wall hack! There is a command that you can type in console that allows you to see where friendly and enemy players are on your screen, even if they're behind a building, wall, hill, etc. Thanks to MSFN.org.

This one is a bit confusing as the BF1942 webpage still hasn't been updated to reflect this patch's release. Grab it : here.

Es gehen Gerüchte um, das die Final Version von Unreal II schon im Web zum Download bereit steht.
Ob dieses wirklich war ist und ob es sich bei dieser Version wirklich um die Final handelt, konnte bislang noch nicht bewiesen werden.

It rumours that Unreal II final has already been leaked to the web before it's officially available on the shelves.

Update: TNT_ reports that it's been confirmed that the upcoming and long-awaited game Unreal II The Awakening has leaked today on the Internet by the popular game pirating group going by the name Fairlight. I am just wondering how this can happen. If this is true do not post any links or hints where to find this version in our forums or in the comments section!
