As expected the NBA 2k10 Demo was released on Xbox Marketplace today. The demo features one 4min quarter of the NBA Finals matching up the Lakers and the Magic once again. If you are an avid fan of the NBA 2k series you probably won’t notice much difference besides a graphic upgrade. Small details in [...]

I got a chance to checkout the Forza 3 demo this weekend. As expected the game has been tuned up graphically which is impressive. The game even includes distinct cockpits for each vehicle when using the driver view.

If you’ve been prompted to download a new system update today you’ll be disappointed to find that no new features were added in this update. This is simply a behind the scenes update in preparation for the big Social Network update coming later this year (Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm).
