[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

You have to play it with 3 friends, it's not much fun otherwise. It's the ultimate party game.

Well I checked it out, and playing the game alone is basically pointless, however I can see the game being an insane amount of fun with 4 players at once, no doubt about it. I am actually really surprised I never heard of it until now.

I am guessing FF2 is going to fully support online play, correct?

If I can play it with 3 of my friends and/or whomever might be online, and it is not a full $60 dollar game, I will strongly consider it for sure. :yes:

I'm wondering if it's online-enabled, too (I have a feeling it isn't). That would be a big plus. I've been waiting for a game I could hop on and off with other Neowinians without taking the game too seriously. I just hope MS understands that this shouldn't be a full-priced game or else it won't take off at all.

That'd be nice to try Sonic out before getting tempted to spend any money on it. I was hoping EA would release an NBA Live 07 demo by now. I want to give the game a chance, but I'm not ready to give up my current GameFly games just yet.

Downloading the FEAR Demo right now.

Since I have already played it, it is just out of curiosity on how it runs on the 360 compared to my PC, because my PC definitely struggled in certain situations.

EDIT - Played FEAR - Really surprised to see some animations so, just not good. The kicking animation has missing textures... sliding down ladders is all wrong and choppy... Overall the visuals look pretty damn good though, and it is running better than my PC ever did. Like I said I am just surprised to see those two things not tweaked at all... Also making leaning left and right on the D Pad just does not feel right to me, but overall I think FEAR is a very good port.

Also dnast I am with you in regards to I was really hoping a demo of NBA Live 07 would be out by now.

My reason is just slightly different though... I am positive I am getting one of the two basketball games, and pretty sure I am going with NBA 2K7 from playing the demo and reading the reviews, but I would just like to try NBA Live 07 before definitely making a decision. I have not personally owned a NBA Live for the console since 2003 though, but I am willing to give this years version a chance.

For whatever basketball game I get, I am just going to use the Keep It Now option through GameFly though, that is how I buy most of my games I own. Save around $15 right from the start, and I have 20 Gamefly credits as well. But so just like you I am not ready to give up my current GF games just yet... as surprising as it is I am having fun with The Godfather.

My Xbox Live latest demo is messed up, dunno if it is for others, shows up 2 Fear with different name for each. It says Bringing It Home twice, one for Fear and one for Fusion Frenzy.

Shows up both NBA and NHL 2K7 but shows up NBA 2K7 next to both of them on ther right.

Same here with FEAR. I just chose one of them and when it finished downloading both were checked off.

I just played Fear and though that in my opinion was pretty poor

I haven't played the one on the Marketplace, but I'm assuming it's the same version I played about a month ago on the OXM disc. I didn't like it much, either. I honestly didn't give it much of a chance - I probably played it for 15 to 20 minutes - but I guess that goes to show how interesting the game was to me.

Keep in mind I'm not the type who plays as many FPSs as all the other genres combined. It may be different for others, but I can only take so much.

Check out the Japanese Marketplace for a demo of Tenchu Senran. It's pretty nice for what it is. It's gone back to the mechanics of Tenchu 2, which I happened to love. I hated that Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven seemed to feel dumbed down after Tenchu 2.

I know this is super obvious but I LOVE the fact that I can download demos on my 360! I had like 6 demos queued up last night and I was like "I LOVE THIS!" :punk:

I'm really grateful for this cool feature!

I played the demo of Fuzion Frenzy 2 last night and this is gonna be a real cool party game.

I used to go to one of my best friend's house and play Mario Party with a bunch of other friends and had a blast. I'm not friends with that person anymore but I still hang out with my other friends and we can now have another party game for us to keep on blasting! :woot:

Ok, this is off-topic but i sort of forgot to pay for my xbox live gold account so it's disabled but shouldn't i still be able to acces marketplace and download demos? I can't even log in to my account.

your account is now Silver, and yes... you can still download everything you want from the XBLMP, odd thing is you can't log into your account, you should call TS and ask about it. :happy: :yes:

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
