XIII Demo - Cracked!

Every conspiracy has a weak spot... and after overcoming the many fiendish barriers put in our way by dark forces too sinister to name - the XIII demo is finally cracked and waiting for you to download it.

The demo contains 2 levels from the full game; the first "The Beach" is also the first level in the full game, where you wake up wondering who, what and where you are, who you were with last night and can you have another one of those drinks.The second "The Military Base" is further on in the full game and in it you have to free General Carrington; the man with the key to your past needs you to find the key to his cell.

A quick heads up for European players - the demo is only in english - although we suspect words like "Aaaarghhh" and "Oooomph" do not need a whole lot of translation, don't worry, the full game does play in French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Worms 3D - First patch (v1.0.1) wriggles into views. Since the release of Worms 3D in late May - the response both critical and commercial has been excellent. To keep the good Karma flowing, our development partners Zonic have speedily produced a first patch that fixes a few minor glitches that were affecting some multiplayer/network games.

Even if you have not experienced a problem so far, it is probably worth downloading and installing the patch - it's only 6MB and you can grab it from here.

[Update 10a 6/19] Apple Canada Comes to Maine for First-Hand Look at iBook Program: Four New Brunswick, Canada, schools will begin an iBook program in their 7th grades. The program, initially a pilot study, will be similar to the one in Maine where each student and their teachers receive an iBook to use during the school year. According to the Maine Technology Learning Intiative web site, Apple Canada representatives and a consultant visited Maine to get a one-on-one look at Maine's program. [Dana Baggett]
