| Demos for the 3 AGON episodes are available on the editor site. They weight between 200 and 300 Mo, however thanks to the great server bandwith (up to 1000 ko/s !) it takes less than 5 minutes ! These are full versions, that play in shareware mode without a registration key. |

 Bungie just released on its site a trailer of Halo 3, expected on Xbox360 during 2007. If the video doesn't start (150 Mo in QT Large), you should try to download it before (i reached 250 ko/s !). As stunning as the Halo 1 trailer unveiled in 1999 at the Apple Expo (initially targeted only for Mac, before Microsoft buyed Bungie). |
