[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.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
