 There is a new video released from Midway from their new action game Stranglehold.
A "spiritual sequel" to Woo's action masterpiece, “Hard Boiled”, Stranglehold redefines the action gaming experience with its acrobatic gunplay, thrilling cinematography, frenetic combat and incredible Massive Destructibility (Massive D). Chow Yun-Fat reprises his signature role as Inspector Tequila, pitting gamers as a take no-prisoners cop waging a personal war with Hong Kong crime lords. Tequila's loyalties to the force are tested when his ex-wife is kidnapped by the Russian mob in Chicago. Tequila struggles to balance his duty to uphold the law with doing what it takes to save his family.

The Settlers II: The Next Generation, Patch v9801 |
|
|
|
|
 The developers from Blue Byte Software and Ubisoft Entertainment released a new patch for the RTS The Settlers II: The Next Generation.
In the new version there are two new maps that can be played in Freeplay or Multiplayer mode - Crossroads and Keyhole.
There are some changes in Freeplay and Multiplayer mode. Players' start positions (headquarters positions) are now shown on the map overview and can be freely assigned to players. Double allocation of a start position (HQ) is not allowed and the match cannot be started if this is the case.
All players can now save the current map state during multiplayer battles. When a player saves the game in Multiplayer, the save game file is saved on all computers participating in the current multiplayer game. This multiplayer savegame can also be used to host new multiplayer games.
If players want to continue a saved game with the same players, they do not need to download the map again as the map (save game) already exists on the clients.

Made Man, Demo |
|
|
|
|
 A demo version of the 3d person shooter by Silverback Studios and Mastertronic, Made Man, is available.
Made Man is a third person action adventure that follows Joey Verola as he is indoctrinated into, and progresses through, the hierarchy of the most notorious crime organization in history; the Mafia. The storyline spans three decades of his life, from the horror of Vietnam to the urban jungle of Brooklyn, but it avoids the cliched chronological constraints of many other games. Made Man has a very strong plot, with the missions written by best selling authority on the Mafia, David Fisher. David’s collaboration with retired Mafia caporigieme Bill Bonanno, a senior member of the Bonanno crime family, has ensured that each career step and mission is based upon authentic Mafia incidents. The involvement of these authorities gives an authenticity to the content of the game and also presents a considerable marketing opportunity.

Sailors of the Sky, Patch v2.87+ -> v5.98b Gold |
|
|
|
|
 There is a new update for the flight simulation from Jesus Saiz Ayala, Sailors of the Sky.
The Gold version adds a better terrain algorithm, new possibilities for web-cam use, new and better-looking clouds, an option for fast qualifications as well as tons of other changes. It is a little bit more hardware demanding though, so players have to play with the parameters in the configuration window to get the best results and increase their frame rate. For example, to lower the horizon distance to its minimum value and texture size to a lower value. It is also good to reduce the resolution supported by the graphic card. For example with a Voodoo 5500 there are very good results at 640x480x32 and antialising on.
