Unfortunately I failed in my attempt to obtain Call of Duty: United Offensive yesterday. Placed an order online, so hopefully I'll finally have the expansion some time next week. We're having some problems with the FileShack Los Angeles server, so it's out of rotation at the moment. It's probably going to be a few days until it returns, our apologies to those who use it as their first choice server. Also on FileShack

Shattered Oasis 2.50 to 2.55 Patch - update for the post-apocalyptic UT2004 mod.

Football Manager 2005 Beta Demo - demo of the game formerly known as Championship Manager.
