Game News - Xpand Rally Xtreme, Sam & Max Ep. 2, Tortuga Demos, More Downloads

   Playing a bit of a catch-up with the stories we missed around the new year's eve, I found myself adding a whole bunch of downloads today, including three demo versions, a couple of patches and several trailers. Starting off with the demos, we have Xpand Rally Xtreme, Sam & Max: Season 1: Episode 2: Situation: Comedy (this is getting ridiculous), and Tortuga: Two Treasures. I'm guessing the most prominent of them is the 330 MB single-player demo for Xpand Rally Xtreme, Techland's ucoming rally sequel. We still don't have a solid release date for the final version, but the game has already been out in Poland, and in Germany from what I hear. So the English version shouldn't be too far away now. In any case, the demo contains two racing tracks - Malaysia and Italy - with both the arcade and simulation modes enabled, as well as two cars to choose from.

   Telltale are also giving us a taste of a sequel of their own. The Sam & Max: Episode 2 - Situation: Comedy demo is here, and for just 70 MB, it even includes all content of the full second episode of this first re-born season, which you can activate after purchasing a license key online.

   And finally, we also have a 330 demo for Ascaron's Tortuga: Two Treasures seafearing game. This one should be out in March 2007, although it's not uncommon at all for CDV to delay their titles again and again...

   Moving on to the rest of today's downloads, there's a FIFA Manager 07 patch #1 for the English DVD version of EA's footy manager, a DEFCON patch v1.3 (not compatible with the Steam version, as usual), and new trailers for the following 8 games: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Nanostray 2 (DS), Dungeon Runners, War Front: Turning Point, Silent Hunter 4, LotR Online: Shadows of Angmar, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and last, but certainly not least, Crysis. Enjoy!
