    I can't remember the last time I was so stoked for a game. I've played through the original Triology and the DA games so often, I am so happy to finally get a new game to add to the catalogue.

    I was wondering about this, I set it to download last night. Do trials download the whole game and only give you access to a limited part?
    I downloaded the Battlefield 1 Trial last month and bought the game through the Xbox Store the following week and as soon as I bought it it was ready to play, no further download

    Thats been the case with nearly all of the trials, saves and progress , achievements etc all carried over.

    That's absolutely correct.

    It's not a demo, it's trial access to the full game. You download the full game and it allows you to play a certain portion or time (for Mass Effect you get about 60-90 minutes into the single-player campaign or essentially the first planet, the unused remainder of the 10 hour trial you can use in multiplayer). All achievements and progress is saved.

    After you buy the game, it unlocks the rest of it for you - no further download necessary.

    EA Access Trial for Mass Effect is quite generous. I thought that the Single Player portion was for the first planet that you landed on and was surprised that it went on for a good bit after that. There are lots of back and forth quests and talking with everyone I was able to fill up about 8 hours of Single Player before I hit the end of the trial.

    Then I started on the Multiplayer. Damn. I had forgotten how addictive Mass Effect Multi Player really was. Instantly bought the game after using up the full 10 hours.

    So NHL 16 is free and you also get 10 hours demo of 17? Am I right?

    It would be handy if they sold the EA Access subs so i could just do a straight swap 😂

    Trade in at Gamestop, use your GS Card if you have it to get the 10% extra credit and buy EA Access or Xbox Credit.
    Thats what i did with GTA when it was on sale in the Xbox Store

    Medal Of Honour : Airborne any good?

    Was wondering the same thing myself

    If i forgot my GS card can they still find my account on their system by using my name or email? And how much are they offering for FIFA?

    They can. Think they can also issue you a replacement card.

    If I recall correctly, it reviewed okay at the time, nothing great. It suffered from the fact that COD:MW was coming out that year, and suddenly FPS set in the modern era were in vogue. Airborne looked kinda old school in comparison.

    The main innovation in it was the fact that you parachute into the level at the start, choosing where you landed. I enjoyed the demo at the time, but like everyone else, I moved on to COD then.
