FIFA Soccer 08 demo

Apart from a few bugs, OK

Pros: 1. Improved graphics

2. Improved Commentary e.g "That's where you put a postage stamp - top corner" - Andy Gray

3. Winter-mode pretty realistic

4. Better gameplay

5. Better overall realistic effect

6. Commentators using players' names e.g : "Cross coming in from Ronaldo", "Wonderful save by Dida", "....and Wayne Rooney scores!" (For the first time goalkeepers' names directly used)

Cons: 1. Loads of bugs in the commentary

e.g. Ball is sailing way over the goal, commentator saying "Wonderful save"

2. Upto now, noticed just one bug in refereeing: Sometimes unnecessary booking even when the foul happened almost a minute ago or ball has gone out of play yet booking etc.

3. Don't quite like the new button configuration - Q for Switch Player and S ONLY for passing (my personal feeling, this may differ from person to person. Others however are generalized)

Tomb Raider: Anniversary demo

WORTH IT!

Pros: Well, what can I say ? This is probably the only game till date where the sequel is better than the original. Yeah, that's right, Anniversary IS better than Legend.

Runs smoothly at full settings even on my PC(P4 2.66 GHz, 512 MB, ATI Radeon X300).

Awesome graphics and action sequences.

Cons: Still, not my type of game - this is not hard-core action and therefore has been RIGHTLY placed in the Adventure category > Fantasy

P.S. I actually played this game because my friend kept saying how good it was. But, it isn't the game's fault that it's not quite my type, is it ?

Restoration

Version: 2.5

Simple yet Effective

Pros: this is an excellent proggie which comes for free and minimal download - just 161 KB !! you don't have to install it - just unzip the .exe file and it runs ! specify where you want to search for deleted files, and whoosh - u see the list in a jiffy ! you can restore these files fully and they DO work PERFECTLY - as good as the original one. it can even string together clusters to files - sometimes these can even WORK !! another utility of this great freeby is that you can permanently delete files - which would be beyond restoration. this way you can remove confidential documents and other embarrasing files. this also speeds up your system to some extent - especially if you can carefully delete the files in System Volume Information. Don't worry only files already deleted can de completely removed - not existing files

Cons: i could do by not writing anything in the "CONS" section, but just one minor thing - some messages which appear in dialog boxes are literally INCOMPREHENSIBLE !!

VLC Media Player

Version: 0.8.6c

Actually a 4ý * product

Pros: Absolutely great software and what the Editor Review says is true - it plays just about ANYTHING ! There are some cool features like seeing the playing video on your desktop. You can also take a screenshot of whatever's on the player screen and save it as a file in My Pictures. A lot of codecs come in-built with the software itself - like AC93, Divx, etc. I t even plays iPod files and e-books.

BOTTOMLINE : A MUST HAVE !

Cons: If you are running low on memory, and you try to play a video, you've got to open it twice or thrice before you can see the video.(You can hear the sound though)

They release updates after a long LONG time...so that's a problem.

Also, the interface is a bit TOO simple and doesn't look too cool. But, you mustn't judge a book by it's cover - REMEMBER ?!!??!!?

But, these are minor flaws(NOT FLAWS AT ALL IN FACT) which shouldn't stop you from getting it....and that's why it's 4ý *
