[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos

Cool! How did it fare in the review? Good or Bad?

7.5

The main thing the review said is it appears as if they left content out for later Marketplace Purchases. They said they hoped that was not the case, but they cannot thing of any other reason it was so stripped down.

Typed straight from the review...

The single player game offers 20 challenges, which are basically battles against increasing numbers of A.I. controlled worms. We miss the clever, more puzzle oriented solo scenarios from past Worms games, but these challenges definitely hone your kills for the real goods: multiplayer, On one console or via Live, up to four players can engage in a tension filled battle for pride and glory.

As thrilling - and funny - as the cartoon violence can be, Worms feels oddly incomplete. Many of our favorite weapons and tools from previous Worms games - including the BAseball Bat, Holy Hand Grenade, Skunk, and Select Worm option - are missing, and you can choose from just three environment themes (although a random landscape generator mixes up the terrain). True, this version is just $10, but it almost seems purposely downsized to allow for paid downloadable additions. (Lets hope not.)

Root Beer Tapper got a 6.

Is it just me or is NBA Street Homecourt really fun?

I really enjoyed NBA Street so i think this'll be my next purchase... they seem to have gone more extreme with this one too.

No, I had a lot of fun with this year's NBA Street as well. It was a lot of fun, I thought. Much better than previous NBA Street titles! :D Definitely at least renting. :)

Def Jam: Icon Demo Tomorrow :D

Gamers anxiously awaiting their chance to sucker punch some of hip-hop's biggest stars can finally breathe a sigh a relief. The demo for Def Jam: Icon, which was announced and quickly delayed in late January, now has a new release date.

The demo will appear on Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow, according to EA. The details of the demo haven't changed; it will feature the Gas Station level and include two playable characters, T.I. and Outkast's Big Boi. Both artists will also have a song included in the demo. The full game will feature 29 songs, and the ability to create a custom soundtrack on the Xbox 360 version.

Def Jam: Icon is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 6 in North America and on March 16 in Europe. For more information, read GameSpot's previous coverage.

I have 6mbit and it went pretty fast. I'm just glad I saw this thread before most people made it home to download this.

I'm just hatin' on DL because I remember him saying he upgraded to 50mbit, which is ridiculous...but I want it. :D :drool:

It's actually 30 down. ;) I wish I had 50!

I really was not trying to rub it in, just stating it was coming in faster than normal so it seemed like a good time to download it.

Still have yet to try it out.

ehh, it went fast, i downloaded it before i took my stuff from my house. Stupid dad... i hate this right now i can't stay at my house cause of him. bleh... anyway, mixed feelings about the game i think it's good, but the controls are a tad clunky, prolly cause i have no idea how they work as the demo has such a short ass timelimit.

hehe, my dad said some pretty brutal stuff about my girlfriend's race, and instead of him retracting his statement and attempting to you know do the right thing and apologize, he blamed me for having a bad attitude, and kept talking mad crazy ****. So... i picked up my ****, **Computer/360/some clothes** and went to a friend's house, and he has fight night lol so we can do that. But yeah, some really mean stuff was said about my girlfriend's race that is so far from true, and i just wasn't about to sit there and let him talk like that. It nearly ended in a fist fight between me and my father. So in turn i've basically just disowned him and luckily i've been looking for a place to move out to for the past week and a half with my best friend so i should hopefully be out soon. Until then i'm stayin here at my friend's house who's parents are being kind enough to let me stay.

Demo's i've got and played, and impressions:

Def Jam Icon: I don't care what people say about it. I love it. I loved FFNY, so i'd love this whether it sucked or not, but it doesn't. If it feels slow remember 2 things: its pre-build, and if you remember fight for new york, you had to develop your character before he became faster/stronger etc, and if you don't like the styles, you can make your own. That may not be the case, but i know you definitly make your own fighting style. I love the way you scratch songs etc, and i really hope they still have the amazing finishers? cause they made the game great for me before.

Crackdown: Amazing, buying on release.

Graw 2: Its exactly what it should be. it feels like they added more onto the original graw, and it feels better and more tactical.

i love it.

i might also try that blitz ****.

The NBA Street demo wasn't half bad. I'm going to be at least renting it.

Cuttz: Man, you're a posting machine! You joined yesterday and already have made 92 posts?! Welcome to Neowin. ;)

LOL

yeahh, guess i got alot to say man.

I love games :p

hows that NBA demo? i never got into basket ball games, but these next-gen ones are supposed to be better.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
