SimBin has released the official demo for GTR Evolution including Brands Hatch 07 and the Sunred Sr21 race car.
Following the success of GTR Evolution, SimBin has decided to release a demo to share the success with a wider audience. In the demo players will also experience the new Race-line and track map functionality.
Sunred is a Spanish built supercar hailing from Barcelona that aims to become a serious threat to the more established teams in current GT racing. A Judd V10 delivers around 500 horsepower, enough to propel its 1100 kilos around any track at breathtaking speeds. In this demo the Sunred Sr21 is available in the distinct Logitech green or in the blue and white of MotorsTV.
Brands Hatch is an old favorite and any SimBin fan will have driven it countless times in search of the perfect lap. Drivers new to Brands Hatch will note the feared first dipping turn; get that one wrong and you’re in big trouble before the lap has even started. Brands Hatch is a driver’s track and a true challenge of skill and nerves when attempting to tame it in a powerful GT car.
When you feel confident in your ability to power the Sunred around Brands Hatch, then jump online and show the world your skills! The demo has full online capability, and you’ll face great drivers from all over the world when you decide to take the next step into multiplayer gaming.
For a download link please visit www.simbin.com or the official GTR Evolution website at www.gtrevolution.com/downloads.htm

Hamburg/Germany, October 24th, 2008 – A flashgame based on the PC adventure game Memento Mori is now ready to be played at www.mementomori-game.com.
In the PC adventure a precious painting is stolen from St. Petersburg’s famous Hermitage museum by the secret order “Ikuinen Nukkuja” (engl. “The Eternal Sleeper”). Russian policewoman Lara and a former art-counterfeiter named Max soon find traces of a religious conspiracy.
In the flashgame, the secret order has stolen not only one, but dozens of masterpieces and hidden them inside the monastery. Exploring the abbey and saving the stolen paintings promises to be an enjoyable way for gamers to shorten the wait for the PC game to hit the shelves.
As a PC game, Memento Mori features 3D environments full of atmosphere in which players will hunt the thiefs by combining hints and solving puzzles.
The flashgame by contrast is bringing the graphical style and feel of classic arcade games back to life. Quick reactions are crucial here: The player moves his character – either Max or Lara – with the four arrow keys through the monastery.

Santa Clara, Calif. - Oct 20, 2008 - The massively multiplayer real-time strategy game (MMORTS), Dreamlords: The Reawakening will conclude its first era - a cycle of the game that lasts approximately eight weeks. Aeria Games anticipates the new era to mix new and veteran players. All players will be eligible to win one of several prizes for hitting milestones in the game.
During its normal weekly maintenance, the game service will be suspended while the new era is reset. When maintenance concludes, existing players will have the option to select a new character race to control, and the playing field is leveled.
Players will have the opportunity to win a Luminglass - a disk of glass that transforms electricity into a marvelous illuminated display. The futuristic desktop decoration was seen in Star Trek: First Contact. The design it emits bears a resemblance to the Dreamlords logo. Players may qualify for five different prize raffles by accomplishing goals in the game.
Up to date contest information and pictures of the prizes are available at the Aeria Games Web site at http://dreamlords.aeriagames.com.
