EA has flicked the green light on the Spore downloads and is allowing gamers who pre-order the PC version the chance to play it while others are sitting on a bus going to pick up theirs.
Official blurb reads: "Once pre-ordered, you will see Spore in your EA Download Manager. You will then be able to download 99 percent of the game to your computer with the remaining part of the game to be downloaded upon the date of the game's release.
"It will only take 30-60 minutes for the install to complete before you can begin conquering galaxies in Spore before anyone else! Please note that you will be charged for the game on the 28th of August and your statements will reflect this."
30-60 minutes for the install? Anyway, Spore ships on September 5 in Europe and Asia and on September 7 in North America.
We'll forgive the creators of this game for bringing this to PC nine months after releasing it on console, because this smash-'em-up racer is enormous amounts of fun. FlatOut Ultimate Carnage continues the series' unpretentious arcade racing and has you competing against 11 other drivers in urban and countryside environments so hillbilly, you half expect Boss Hogg to go "Kyuk kyuk" and chase you, while playing a banjo.
FlatOut's major selling point is its OTT physics in the environments, that add to the excitement during races as you career into exploding petrol stations, smash through glass shop windows, skid into picket fences and send rubber tyres bouncing all over the track. Of course the physics also apply to the cars, and you get a bonus nitro boost the more damage and chaos you cause to other vehicles, encouraging you to flip, crash and wreck your opponents at high speed. The exhilarating effect of this wild destruction is such that you wonder why every other racing game doesn't do it.
As a huge fan of carnage in general, the other major plus point of FlatOut for me is the ability to send yourself, and other ragdoll drivers, hilariously crashing through windscreens, complete with comedy scream. This is taken to the extreme in the many silly minigames you can play on your own, or with friends, which involve driving at ridiculous speeds, holding the "throw" button down to create an angle of ejection, and watching as your poor driver is flung violently in the direction of a giant dartboard or high jump to score points.
However, the racing is the meat of the game, and the fact you can accrue cash to spend on better and faster cars, upgrade your motors and unlock new tracks and minigames means you'll have plenty to keep you busy. Annoyingly, the AI is suspiciously good at catching you up, and you can often find yourself frustratingly slipping from the front to the back of the racing pack, if you spin off or catch an errant bit of track detritus that inexplicably flips your car.
Yet, even the odd bit of weird physics and dodgy AI driving isn't enough to spoil the party - FlatOut Ultimate Carnage is more fun than 50 Formula One races, with or without Nazi-themed S&M. (Not that anyone involved with Formula One is, or was, into that.)
Team Fortress 2 Heavy Update Coming Next Tuesday; Includes New Maps, Game Mode, Heavy Weapons
The largest update yet to Valve's online shooter Team Fortress 2 is set to go live next Tuesday, August 19, according to the developer.
The update will include seven fresh maps and a new game mode, in addition to new unlockable weapons and achievements for the Heavy class.
Valve plans to reveal each element of the patch--as well as a "special installment" to the "Meet the Team" video series--in a series of daily updates to its website.
The first announced map was revealed to be community-created level cp_steel (pictured above). Described as a "complex Attack Defense control point map" by Valve, the arena was created by Jamie "Fishbus" Manson, and marks the first of six website reveals.
The mysteriously unannounced game mode will come supported with five Valve-crafted maps. A "new Payload map focusing on more open spaces than Goldrush" will also be released, according to Valve's Robin Walker.

EA released game, will never see it on Steam, and if u did, would carry the protection as well, still stupid non the less

yeah, the thing is that if they would put the game out on steam or D2D download aswell they would make much more and not needing a stupid security like that.
