Yeah, I don't get the appeal. The handeling is unresponsive (felt like lag) and framerate disapointing.

Given all the bad stuff I heard about Thorn's castle, I actually enjoyed the Kameo demo. I'll probably pick the game up now. The Need 4 Speed demo sucked IMO.

The framerate is better in the retail version. The handling is still unresponsive.

I'm downloading the FIFA demo as well; as for their other demos, I thought NBA Live was pretty bland overall, Madden NFL was a bit fun (but not $60 fun), and I didn't download the Most Wanted demo (I have the full retail version).

FIFA sucks. Man is the framerare choppy in spots

no it's quite responsive, you just have to "get" it.

You're right, during replays and shots of the stadium. Really suprising to see framerate issues. This is like the Fifa 64 of the new generation :lol

I also put up the Hardwood Live Arcade demos for Backgammon, Hearts and Spades on the list. Only 400 points each.

"FIFA sucks. Man is the framerare choppy in spots"

all the close ups = frame rate hell.
the demo was pretty lame.

LakeEarth · Dec 10, 2005

I love how it completely kicks you out of the game after the first half is done. Like completely. Out of the game, out of the demo, out of the arcade, all the way back to the opening hub screen. I forget if Live does that too.

After playing PGR3 and RR, the game controls like a GBA game. Game is absolute trash. Only redeeming quality is it's urban appeal.

think of it like this: To slide, don't press any brakes. oveeeeeeersteer.

also playing bumper view completely helps.

i'd say the driving model is fine. it's the absolutely ridiculous rubberband AI that sucks. by ridiculous i mean it's probably the worst i've seen which is a shame

I intend to buy Hearts soon.

Download the trail for Spades at least. It has a tutorial that teachs you pretty much everything in a admittenly childish, but straight forward way.

I have been playing both of these online all night long.

Nah, Live, after showing you some stats, brings you back to the original menu where you can control just Dwyane Wade.

Sweet god I hope so.

Where is Robotron 2084? There are four clones and yet the original is missing?

Sp3eD · Dec 14, 2005

Wik is out. I am waiting for the marble one still

Haklong · Dec 14, 2005

Those with a 360 can download a 720P version of the Lost Planet Trailer. Looks much better I must say.

fse · Dec 14, 2005

Downloaded Wik... seems fun I guess. Not my type of game really.

Am I the only dumb bastard that couldn't figure out how to apply a theme? After about a half-hour of fucking around in the dashboard I figured it out. BTW, there are quite a few preloaded themes on the hard drive.

Yeah, but too bad they all suck. I prefer just sticking with custom backgrounds.

Same here.

sangreal · Dec 16, 2005

took me awhile to find them too.

The PGR3 one is nice, but I use default

LakeEarth · Dec 16, 2005

Robotron is now available, but the demo is a joke. Its literally over in 20 seconds (just the first two waves of the game). Guess its buy or don't play on this one :lol

iapetus · Dec 16, 2005

It's buy. Don't play is not an option.

Andy787 · Dec 17, 2005

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but according to Blimblim, the devs of Full Auto have confirmed they've submitted the demo to the marketplace.

LakeEarth · Dec 29, 2005

Condemned demo suprisingly is now available. Didn't even know it was coming. Since I own the game I won't download it, but feel free to report what its like.

Ironic cause I just rented that one online

Chittagong · Dec 29, 2005

HEY MICROSOFT! How about some fresh content for European 360 owners, too? Demos don't need to be EFIGS localized, ffs.

Tremendous...downloading now. It'd be a nice trend if every game had a playable demo.

Zaphod · Dec 29, 2005

Arrgg, this download for Condemned is taking forever. Is everyone trying to download this at once? Oh well, ZootedGranny's avatar will entertain me in the mean time.

raYne · Dec 29, 2005

Nevermind Condemned... you people should've bought that already

. Where the hell is the supposed Saint's Row demo?

I personally blame Liquid for getting my hopes up...

Yusaku · Dec 29, 2005

More like where's the Full Auto demo, I'm too cheap to buy OXM.

ZootedGranny · Dec 29, 2005

The other night I was in the middle of a game when I noticed someone on my friend's Friend list was playing the Full Auto demo. I got all amped up, checked the marketplace and then realized it was the OXM demo.
