[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 :(

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
