[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 :(

    • Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky      
    • Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
