Platoon demo out!

[USMC Sniper 0]

The demo for platoon is out, check www.3dgamers.com, not fileplanet. I think it is very good looking, still 30 mins waiting tho.

*Goes back to listening to AC/DC*

This is going to be a cool game. Thanks for the heads up.

I dl'ed it in about 10 minutes, it was just slow at first.

I did it in 5 .  Looks like it could be a somewhat neat game.  Whats the official website for that and Vietcong?

[FSPilot 0]

Bah, that was not the greatest game.

I try to stay away from overhead view games (don't know what they're called).

I just really think they're dumb. They remind me of those sliders where you're in a spaceship and you have to blow up asteroids.

Good graphics, bad AI, OK sounds. Gameplay was that of a slider. lol

There called RTS

www.gigex.com has a demo of Mafia, containing one level. It is about 240 megabytes in size.

www.3dgamers.com has an Age of Mythology demo, containing the tutorial and 2 random maps. It is around 320 megabytes.

Hope you enjoy, I love both these demos!

Mafia did come out a while ago, but some of you may have not tried it. AOM is wicked, just wish the demo had the Norse or Egyptians.

You still haven't banned him...

Anyone know if there is a way to get cheats to work in the demo? I tried the trainer but when i used it the demo crashed, and when I tried to use the normal cheats, (shift+~), nothing happened.

Yes and seeing as I haven't banned you yet, despite you being around number 2 on my hit list one would consider it sensible to keep your mouth shut

Hmz, i dunno if this game is out already, if it is, the cheats/trainer might be for the full version only, if it isn't the cheats just are wrong.

OR perhaps you need to change something in the game, for some games you need to add a file to be able to use cheats, look for that on the internet...

I found this on xcheater, they always have some good codes and stuff like that. It's the only thing i could find, perhaps it helps you...

Refill Health and Ammo

Jump over a box of medicine or ammo, don't take it. The box won't disappear and you can repeat this as much as necessary.

Downloaded it, installed it, played for a few minutes then

unistalled. Its just not a game for me.

The controls were horrible, the AI had no initiative. They spot a VC, then just stand there and so nothing until you tell them too shoot. And when they do shoot, it takes forever and a day for them to kill the enemy. The AI is also very annoying, and seems to say the same thing every time you click on them or order them to move somewhere. Having 'Have you got another one for me to remove' been said by the Engineer every few seconds really anooys me.......

My APC was blown up by a few people with Kalishnakovs......

Nope, not for me.

[USMC Sniper 0]

Yeah, it also got annoying after a while. its a cool premise, but the AI is crap.

I just tried that Mafia game. It's a LOT of fun. Granted, it's KINDA one of those overhead games, but it's still good. GREAT graphics, GREAT sounds, GREAT gameplay, BETTER THAN GREAT plot. I'd buy it if I weren't cheap.
