We got our hands on Battlefield 1943 last night and we put it through a quick playtest to see how it pans out as a small downloadable title.
Despite only weighing in at 550MB this game packs quite a punch. Up close some of the details in the land are slightly lacking, but when viewed overall the landscape looks gorgeous, for instance the water quality for the sea looks so nice you wish you were on holiday.
The Frostbite Engine works well, giving a full dynamic feel to every battle. Someone hiding behind that building? Just get in a tank and drive right through it and crush the bugger.
We will have a full review tomorrow after the servers have been populated with more than 4 people at one time.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
