1) Finally, UbiSoft is releasing a demo version of Dark Messiah of Might And Magic for free download. System requirements have also become known:
o Windows(R) XP
o AMD AthlonTM or Pentium(R) 2.2 GHz (3 GHz recommended)
o 512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended)
o 128 MB DirectX(R) 9-compatible video card (256MB recommended)
o DirectX 9 compatible sound card
o DirectX 9 or higher
o 3 GB free hard disc space
o Supported Video Cards: NVIDIA(R) GeForceTM FX/6/7 families, ATI(R) RadeonTM 9/X families (laptop versions of these cards are not fully supported)
However, since the engine used is Half-Life, I think that due to its flexibility, the game will run on less powerful machines as well.
The DarkMessiah demo weighs 1.4 GB. You can download it here /files/10087/>

2) On August 2, 2006, an interview with Jam from Frag Dolls and developers took place. More details /topic/at/24522/
