[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

I have to say, I've been playing the Stranglehold demo for like, 2 hours now. Seriously. Its that freaking good. I cannot believe how awesome this demo is.

The game is going to rock, plain and simple. End of story.

Its 8:30 am here, when I get up in like, 3 hours lol I'm going to make sure to post this as news, since I haven't reported on demos on quite awhile anyways, I figure why not start with this awesome puppy?

I highly recommend EVERYONE into action games, or into Hong Kong/John Woo movies check this demo out NOW.

You get two difficulty levels to start, and can actually unlock two more AND unlock special moves in subsequent play throughs of the demo.

God I wish I could stay up and play more :(

Only have to make it through 8 hours of work to play this demo.

Good news is download speeds should be better by then hopefully, bad news is 8 hours of work.

Ahhh, this sucks. I can't get to market place to download the demo. It keeps giving me an error when I try to load the newest files. Then gives me a status code of 807b01f7. Anybody know wth that means? And is anyone else having that problem?

Really? :o

I heard about it and was excited, looking at the videos- not so much. But reserved judgement on the demo before I pre order.

Here's hoping it's worth ?35.:DD

Sweet! I'm home sick from work today (felt like crap this morning... hmmmm .. bad chicken :laugh: ) so I'll try this out! :)

Thread Updated

LOL. Somehow reminds me of a Sienfeld episode. The Kenny Rogers Roasters one. "Bad chicken!!! It'll mess you up!!!" :laugh:

The-Really-Really-Awesome-Game-Award goes to Stranglehold!!!

When I woke up this morning to play this completed download I was NOT ready to be hit with such awesomeness I really wasn't :| so just a lil heads up to everybody brace yourselves theres more action in this game then there ever was in Hollywoods entire existence :p :laugh:

"Has more", has more what? Glitter? Blur? It's pure ****!

Max Payne had awesome graphics for Its time, superb story telling & story, innovation.

This game has nothing of that.

All good and well that you think that way but your words are coming of as fact when they are opinion (and i don't have much respect for people who post opinion as fact) just a little reminder...

Im not going to debate which was better because i LOVED the Max Payne games its just that this was way more fun for me..

Well, thats your opinion.

I really don't see the "innovation" that Max Payne has that this doesn't.

I don't know whether to expect the game to give me the most uber gaming experience of my life, or the worst. In any case, I hope the game isn't hyped to infinity and beyond. I'll just play it with average expectations. :p

Loved the Stranglehold demo. The video at the end makes the rest of the game look sooooo awesome. Damn, just too many good games coming out in the next few months. And I'm going to Beijing for a month in October so I really have to save my money. I don't think I have a choice but to buy Bioshock though. Stranglehold will have to wait until I get back, unfortunately :(

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
