Keep an eye on this website :) Also, the second update (v1.2) for Far Cry will be released today, so be sure to check our website to grab it fast :) Other news:

The official Knights of Honor website was updated with six new buildings in the Building Showcase and two new units in the Unit Showcase section (Crusader Infantry and Axeman) - the Unit Descriptions were optimized.

According to a PRNewswire press release, in a study published in the June issue of the journal Obesity Research, researchers from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University Hospital Zurich present a strong association between playing electronic video games and childhood obesity in school-aged Swiss children. The researchers also found that obesity was associated with television watching, paternal smoking and mother's working outside the home - the research team measured 872 children in first, second, and third grades enrolled in 10 schools in northeastern Switzerland.

Homelan has discovered that Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers (movie), the third person action game developed by Battleborne, scheduled for release beginning with 16 July (story), carries now a "TBA" (To Be Announced) date.

MCV is reporting that Lionhead Studios may be the subject of a takeover bid with more than one publisher interested in buying this company. The possible buyers mentioned are Activision, Microsoft and Eidos but Eidos is the only one who has denied such a move. Thanks again: Homelan.
