[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Actually I'm quite surprised, I have 5 demos on my hard drive just now, along with map packs for a few games, halo 3 beta, arcade games, themes etc and still 6 or 7GB spare :D

Although I guess it's different for you guys over the pond with movie/tv marketplace :/

Its a shame we will never get that. Canada dosent have it iirc. I mean look at Apple with their movies on Itunes. We are still waiting 2 years later!!!!

Overlord

Just as .Kick said, it seems to lack on overall polish. Also maybe it is just me, but slow down when you just swing a sword is extremely off putting to me, nevermind when there was more going on than me swinging my sword. I would rather sacrifice some visuals for smooth game play personally, but perhaps they will flush it out.

Shadowrun

I have Shadowrun downloaded, just have not check it out yet and will do so sometime this weekend.

I am curious, to anyone else that was also in the Shadowrun Beta awhile back, is the demo different maps than the Beta, or the same two?

I am really just waiting for Shadowrun to get here from GameFly already since I know I do like it, so that is why I am not in a rush for the demo I would rather just jump into the whole game, because as mail mentioned it is also very reminiscent of CS to me as well (I describe it as CS meets Magic to my friends). But for whatever reason even though my queue had an empty slot which I left empty on purpose, it never got shipped. :angry: I am really getting fed up with GameFly because of the last month.

^ DL, try out GamezNFlix. I've switched over to them from GameFly and I'm loving it so far. Shippings speeds are much faster (turn-around time from when you send in a game to when you receive a new one is about 3-5 days depending on when you send back your game). Plus you can rent movies including HD-DVDs, Blu-Ray discs, etc all with one (really cheap) subscription. You can usually Google a coupon or two to get that membership price even lower. :)

have we talked about Hour of Victory already? didn't like that demo at all. weird model characters, clunky animation, no destructible environments (in contrast to what was advertised) and all very COD2.

Sad excuse of a Unreal 3 Engine license. :no:

gotta say you're right, it wasn't what i expected. was looking forward to some good old fashioned arcade action with spiced up gfx, but this was more like Wing Commander. may not get it after all.

as for the controls, a bit awkward but can be gotten used to.

    • 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.
