The demo for Nicolas Games upcoming third-person horror-shooter, Afterfall: Insanity, is available now for the Windows PC platform. The full, retail game is due out on November 25th, 2011 but this demo will give you a taste of the post-apocalyptic horror.

Demo Description

In the first part of the demo, Albert will come face to face with diabolical creatures in a dark and claustrophobic shelter.  In another part, you’ll work your way through the sewers, eventually making your way to a deserted town, which provides a glimpse of just how war-torn the world really is.  As shocking as the demo is, it only reveals part of the danger you’ll face on Afterfall: InSanity.  Not only will you have to conquer demons and infected humans, but also Albert’s own delusions and fears.

From the Announcement

“The art of assassination isn’t easy to master. It requires stealth. Intelligence. Nerve. Speed. Hesitate for a second and you might end up on the business end of your own hook blade. Ezio knows it. Altair knows it. After all, they are master assassins of legend—the wizened heroes of three award-winning Assassin’s Creed games to date. So what could possibly be left for them (and us) to achieve in Assassin’s Creed Revelations?”

Razer Blade Prototypes Stolen

This just in from Razer USA: It appears as though that two of Razer’s Blade gaming laptop prototypes were stolen a couple of weeks ago. The company has released an official letter on the matter, pleading for the prototypes to be returned and reminding the gaming public that purchasing these prototype units would be purchasing stolen property.

Official Letter from Razer

Dear Razer Community,

Over the weekend of 11/4/11, we had a break-in at one of our Razer offices.  Two Razer Blade prototypes were stolen from our Bay area R&D lab. 

As you can imagine, the return of these prototype units is very important to the company.  We have already reported this to the authorities who are working closely with us on this matter.

We take this act of theft seriously and would like to appeal for its return and discourage anyone from buying the Razer Blade prototypes from the perpetrators, whether online or otherwise, as they are stolen property.

We appreciate any and all information anyone may have on the incident.  Please contact us at cult@razerzone.com if you have any information.

Thank you for all your support.
