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:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
