[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

I think we have enough WWII FPS games.

Except it's not a WWII FPS game, although I can see how you got confused there.

Seriously, I didn't think it was all that bad. It's certainly no COD4, but it had a few nice touches. I'll probably pick it up when it's under ?20.

Frontlines: Fuel Of War MULTIPLAYER Demo

1.11GB

I am downloading this right now, and will check it out later on today after I watch the Omega Man (original I Am Legend).

This game has the potential to be either good, or really bad, very curious to see which way it plays out.

Amazingly enough, my download is truly flying as well, for the first time in a very, very, very long time.

I started posting this right after I started downloading it, and it is already at 30% :blink:

Frontlines is a very bad game, worse IMO than Denied Ops (and thats very bad) some may like it, but I personally find it dull, slow, repetive and boring. Each to their own on this one I suppose?

I cannot let you say it is as bad as Denied Ops, that is pushing it. ;)

Everything else I more or less agree with.

They should have labeled it a Beta, as it ran horrible for me. Really bad actually.

Horrible as in FPS or connection lag? Because both went fine for me and this game is like a copy of Battlefield :p

Connection.

I have to say I tried it out again, and besides some more connection issues, I actually do not think this game is all that bad now. Like you said it is a copy of Battlefield, albeit it not a great one, but I absolutely loved BF2 on the PC, I clocked close to 200 hours playing it, so this game is growing on me more and more. It does fill a void that has yet to truly be filled just yet. I really want it to be good, so I do think it is better than I initially thought.

I just wish I did not keep having issues. And my issues are it will run fine, that out of nowhere turn into a slide show, and it always seems like half the times it does this I am then dead. Seems more like a bug than anything else.

Have you tried joining the dedicated servers instead? Their located ALL the way on top on the server list and it seems to be fine for me =)

Still waiting for the Condemned 2 demo that was supposed to be out 2 weeks ago. Must be bad if they delay a demo :)

Dark Sector does look good, but as you say Disposable_here, I would like to play a level or two first. The completely black/white intro level looks incredible though from what I've seen.

No way in hell is this any good. The controls for it sucks. I'm a "Southpew Legacy" gamer and this game lacks it. Controlling vehicles in this game is like attempting to control a car that does not obey to your controls.

Army of Two Demo is out, 1.3GB and for some strange reason I'm able to download it with a silver account without waiting for a wait :).

Wow, this seems like the first demo to hit in a LONG time.

Did Condemned 2 ever make it to demo? I am still in the middle of completing the SP, I rented it from GameFly, just curious if it ever made it, and if it did not, more curious as to why?

The Condemned 2 demo was supposed to be released the week before the game hit the shelves. As to the reason why it was never released is anybody's guess.

I'm a bit disappointed with the Ao2 demo in that there is no taster of the single player aspect of the game, something I want to try first :(

i've been reading mixed reviews about this game but yet i found myself enjoying this demo, and i've been very picky about games.

yes there is, you just have to play coop with a friend or anyone else

No that's co-op, not single player game (where the other player is the AI) there's a BIG difference.

    • 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.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
