From the Unity Forums..
Dear awesome Unity community,
With great pleasure I will share that we have completed development on version 2.6 of Unity. This release includes some awesome new features for everyone like a brand new Animation Editor and Project search, along with additional Pro-only features such as a Profiler, Ambient Occlusion, and tons more.
You can read more about what’s been packed into this release on the new 2.6 feature page.
But we’re not quite done here… That’s right, we’ve discontinued Unity Indie and replaced it with a feature-identical version of the Editor called simply “Unity”. The difference? Unity is free for everyone. One more barrier to entry torn down.
For current Indie license holders, we’ve thought about you too! We’re offering a discount on a Unity Pro upgrade for all Indie license holders. Until the end of the year, you can upgrade to Unity Pro for $1099. And if you’ve purchased Unity Indie in the past 60 days, you can opt to receive a full refund for your purchase instead. Those who qualify for the full refund should receive an email with details soon.
Finally, I’d just like to say thanks to everybody that uses, learns, and teaches Unity. Our community is about to grow again with new Unity users, and I’m just really proud of how the spirit of helping and supporting each other perseveres throughout each new influx. It’s just great, plain and simple. I’m looking forward to playing all your brilliant creations!

The Free Trial is (obviously) limited, but i think it’s pretty good for the casual player. Or maybe not.. 😆
CrimeCraft is a Persistent World Next-gen Shooter set in a fictional city in the near future where the price of life is far less than the value of reputation. Players must do whatever it takes to survive amidst the chaos of Sunrise City.
FEATURES:
* Crime – Following economic collapse, lawlessness prevailed and the government built Sunrise City as a penal colony to house the increased criminal element. Perform various “tasks” and “jobs” for money and experience which can be used to help you gain a reputation, learn new trade skills and perform new abilities in battle.
* Craft – Use the loot gained from battle to create your own weapons, clothing and performance boosts.
* Unreal Technology – Explore the vast world of Sunrise City beautifully rendered by the powerful Unreal Engine 3.
* Intense TPS action – Battle other players or AI enemies with a wide range of weapons, explosives, abilities, and enhancements at your disposal.
* Pay your way – Flexible payment models that lower the barriers of entry and give players options based on their playing style.
* Personalize – Amazing depth in the variety of clothes, weapons, items, and skills available to distinguish your character and your crew from the masses playing online.
* Team up – Form virtual gangs to build a reputation, assign rankings, pool money and goods, and buy gang hideouts.
* Underground Economy – Control the quality and cost of manufactured items that you create, modify, or repair. Then sell, trade, or auction them to other players on the open black market.

Buy World of Goo at whatever price you like until 25th October 2009.
Last week, to celebrate the one year anniversary of World of Goo’s release, 2DBoy decided to run a little experiment and for one week, offered World of Goo to the world for whatever price people want to pay for it. The birthday sale has been a huge success so far, and because of that, the game authors are extending their little experiment/celebration until sunday, October 25.
