UT3 Demo Preload Available To Fileplanet Subscribers
Its getting close now, as evidenced by the fact that you can preload the UT3 beta/demo from Fileplanet, this means you can play it as soon as it’s released. The only drawback is that you have to be a subscriber.
I would expect the demo to be available to the rest of us at some point in the next few days. You can find out if you might be able to run it by checking out the specs here. Remember though that this is a beta so don’t expect it to run straight off and help the devs out by reporting any bugs. The more that are caught now the less complaints about ‘unfinished games’ and early patches there’ll be on release.
Update: Its out, its gorgeous and so far from my end it is bug free!

WoW Players Finally Getting Bored?
Xfire, the gamers instant messaging and stat tracking software and website, published figures yesterday which may reveal that all is not well in Azeroth. The average hours spent per player in WoW-land has dropped off by 18 percent on August’s figures. Does this mean that the novelty is finally beginning to wear off (not that there was much novelty to begin with)? Or is it just because all the kids are now back at school and no longer while away the summer days in a far off digital land? I’m outting my money behind the latter, but it would be nice to think that WoW players may some day get fed up with WoW and move on to something else, they’re always welcome in the rich and varied world that is EVE Online, my corp is looking for n00bs to shoot
