[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos

Cool! How did it fare in the review? Good or Bad?

7.5

The main thing the review said is it appears as if they left content out for later Marketplace Purchases. They said they hoped that was not the case, but they cannot thing of any other reason it was so stripped down.

Typed straight from the review...

The single player game offers 20 challenges, which are basically battles against increasing numbers of A.I. controlled worms. We miss the clever, more puzzle oriented solo scenarios from past Worms games, but these challenges definitely hone your kills for the real goods: multiplayer, On one console or via Live, up to four players can engage in a tension filled battle for pride and glory.

As thrilling - and funny - as the cartoon violence can be, Worms feels oddly incomplete. Many of our favorite weapons and tools from previous Worms games - including the BAseball Bat, Holy Hand Grenade, Skunk, and Select Worm option - are missing, and you can choose from just three environment themes (although a random landscape generator mixes up the terrain). True, this version is just $10, but it almost seems purposely downsized to allow for paid downloadable additions. (Lets hope not.)

Root Beer Tapper got a 6.

Is it just me or is NBA Street Homecourt really fun?

I really enjoyed NBA Street so i think this'll be my next purchase... they seem to have gone more extreme with this one too.

No, I had a lot of fun with this year's NBA Street as well. It was a lot of fun, I thought. Much better than previous NBA Street titles! :D Definitely at least renting. :)

Def Jam: Icon Demo Tomorrow :D

Gamers anxiously awaiting their chance to sucker punch some of hip-hop's biggest stars can finally breathe a sigh a relief. The demo for Def Jam: Icon, which was announced and quickly delayed in late January, now has a new release date.

The demo will appear on Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow, according to EA. The details of the demo haven't changed; it will feature the Gas Station level and include two playable characters, T.I. and Outkast's Big Boi. Both artists will also have a song included in the demo. The full game will feature 29 songs, and the ability to create a custom soundtrack on the Xbox 360 version.

Def Jam: Icon is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 6 in North America and on March 16 in Europe. For more information, read GameSpot's previous coverage.

I have 6mbit and it went pretty fast. I'm just glad I saw this thread before most people made it home to download this.

I'm just hatin' on DL because I remember him saying he upgraded to 50mbit, which is ridiculous...but I want it. :D :drool:

It's actually 30 down. ;) I wish I had 50!

I really was not trying to rub it in, just stating it was coming in faster than normal so it seemed like a good time to download it.

Still have yet to try it out.

ehh, it went fast, i downloaded it before i took my stuff from my house. Stupid dad... i hate this right now i can't stay at my house cause of him. bleh... anyway, mixed feelings about the game i think it's good, but the controls are a tad clunky, prolly cause i have no idea how they work as the demo has such a short ass timelimit.

hehe, my dad said some pretty brutal stuff about my girlfriend's race, and instead of him retracting his statement and attempting to you know do the right thing and apologize, he blamed me for having a bad attitude, and kept talking mad crazy ****. So... i picked up my ****, **Computer/360/some clothes** and went to a friend's house, and he has fight night lol so we can do that. But yeah, some really mean stuff was said about my girlfriend's race that is so far from true, and i just wasn't about to sit there and let him talk like that. It nearly ended in a fist fight between me and my father. So in turn i've basically just disowned him and luckily i've been looking for a place to move out to for the past week and a half with my best friend so i should hopefully be out soon. Until then i'm stayin here at my friend's house who's parents are being kind enough to let me stay.

Demo's i've got and played, and impressions:

Def Jam Icon: I don't care what people say about it. I love it. I loved FFNY, so i'd love this whether it sucked or not, but it doesn't. If it feels slow remember 2 things: its pre-build, and if you remember fight for new york, you had to develop your character before he became faster/stronger etc, and if you don't like the styles, you can make your own. That may not be the case, but i know you definitly make your own fighting style. I love the way you scratch songs etc, and i really hope they still have the amazing finishers? cause they made the game great for me before.

Crackdown: Amazing, buying on release.

Graw 2: Its exactly what it should be. it feels like they added more onto the original graw, and it feels better and more tactical.

i love it.

i might also try that blitz ****.

The NBA Street demo wasn't half bad. I'm going to be at least renting it.

Cuttz: Man, you're a posting machine! You joined yesterday and already have made 92 posts?! Welcome to Neowin. ;)

LOL

yeahh, guess i got alot to say man.

I love games :p

hows that NBA demo? i never got into basket ball games, but these next-gen ones are supposed to be better.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
