[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 :(

    • 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.
