[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.

    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
