[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

I couldn't figure out what you had to do in the Lost Planet demo (or how to do it, more specifically), but it was fun... awesome graphics too! :p

The space pirates one, you need to reach the big red door at the end.

The flying creatures one, you need to go across the thin roads and beat that super hard boss that keeps on killing me! argh

They need to revise the death system a bit.

Btw in the pirates level, you can snipe that droid at the beggining and take it over, but you will need to do something about the turbo missile platform launchers

test drive crap

Lost planet is pretty hard at first, but when you get used to it, it gets REALLY really fun :)

This demo was a nice surprise, and I am pleased to say that it exceeded my expectations.

I really didn't like the Test Drive demo :no:, Lost Planet demo was very fun though :).

I went back and finally beat one of the levels on the Lost Planet demo. I have to say that this game is quite fun. Even though the graphics looked good on its first trailer, I wasn't really interested in picking this one up. I've definitely changed my mind. Now I just have to figure out a way to stand a chance against those mechs on the second demo level...

I should also say that this game really has a different feel than most other shooters. There's something about it that gives you a true console gaming feeling, but I just can't put my finger on it. Unlike most shooters on the 360, I never get the feeling that I'm playing a PC game on my console while playing Lost Planet.

^ Just saw it a few mins ago and checked to see if anyone else did. Hopefully I'll beat the rush.

I just noticed it myself, and it appears as if I definitely did not beat the rush. It is going super, super, super slow.

I really, really enjoyed the Hitman Demo.

I had always tried getting into them on the PC, every single version I played, and I definitely got the farthest in #1, but I never even came close to beating it. The main reason for this, and I hate to admit it, as I always felt there was a little to much going on. Now I love PC gaming, and I still will always prefer a mouse and keyboard, but a game like Hitman on the PC, was always just slightly to much going on for my personal tastes...

So I LOVE the 360 version. I am sure it is dumbed down some from the PC version, and you know what? That is what I truly like.

I just do not have the time, which then equals the patience, to sit through a game for hours and hours upon end. So these days I find that I really like a game that does not take me memorizing 15 buttons and what they do in order to play it. I think they did a great job with the control scheme for the 360, this, coupled with the fact I know without even checking out the PC Demo (although I did download it and will check it out just to triple check), but I am willing to bet it definitely looks, and more importantly runs, better on the 360 itself. My comp has just been showing its age these days. The GRAW Demo just really killed it for sure, although I know this game will not be as demanding.

Either way though, like I said, I personally prefer the simplicity of the control scheme of the 360, so I am willing to sacrifice precision for that.

I am definitely renting the full game through GameFly, and I am looking forward to it for sure.

Perfect Dark: Zero Demo Now Available

Excellent I've waited so long to try this game lol.

I started the Hitman download last night but gave up on it because it was too slow. Sounds promising that you enjoyed it though DL, because I wasn't much of a fan with the other Hitman games, this might sway me if it has changed gameplay wise :D

I thought the Hitman demo was lame. It was just the training mission where everything is spelled out for you. Nothing like the original Hitman games, those were great! :)

Nice to hear that. I gave the Hitman demo a little try last night for (admittedly) a very small amount of time, but I couldn't see myself really getting into the game based on what I saw. I'm not done with playing around with the demo since I was just trying to pass time while I was waiting for my fiancee to return while we were pausing the season finale of "Lost", but nothing really grabbed my attention during the time I played it.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to go back and explore the demo some more (another reason I stopped was because all of the cursing in the dialog while kids happened to be around), and give this game a real try. As of now, Lost Planet and BF:MC are the only demos that have been really enjoyable to me in the past month or so. MotoGP, Hitman, and PDZ haven't done it for me, but there's still a chance with Hitman.

Sorry, PDZ fans, but I still can't get into it (referencing the demo, of course), even though I enjoyed it more than my initial experience with the game, there's just something that doesn't vibe well with me.

I will buy the hitman game based on the last games Ive loved them.

I possibly might give the 360 a miss for this one though, I think a keybaord , mouse and a monitor 2 feet away really would benefit this game.

PDZ was one of thge first games i bought with my 360 , and iv enever got into it at all. Ive also not got into Oblivion, so based in this Im going to expell all FPS games to my PC now.

I would love to be able to log into my WoW from the 360 though.

Come on blizzard, port it and make it work (somehow) on a control pad :-)

I used to think I was too harsh on some of the demos and not giving them the benefit of the doubt :p Just kidding.

Out of all the demos I've also enjoyed BF and Lost Planet the most. Although saying that I owned quite a few of the launch games so I didn't play their demos of course..but I'm sure they were great.

I was a little disappointed with PDZ as I was able to just rush through the level too easy. The controls didn't feel all that great too either, but still I didn't think it was that bad. Still playable..

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
