The Xbox Live Arcade port of Perfect Dark now has a release date: March. This is the part whee you jump up and down in celebration. → Read More
The Xbox Live Arcade port of Perfect Dark still carries that frustratingly (well…) vague “winter 2010″ release date, but we’re beginning to see more and more screenshots trickle out from wherever these things trickle out from. Who knows. Anyhow, there’s a series of new screenshots on some dude’s Photobucket that may interest you. → Read More
I literally just said “Wow!” out loud looking at these screenshots of Perfect Dark for Xbox Live Arcade. → Read More
Don’t forget that Banjo-Tooie is now on Xbox Live! Yup, I bought it this morning, and it immediately took me back to Happier Days, a youth defined by watching WWF (at the time) and playing N64 and PlayStation all weekend long. → Read More
It’s time to get excited, friends. Not only will Capcom release Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network this summer, but it will release demo this Thursday. That means you only have to wait two days till you’re unleashing 100+ hit combos and trash talking like you never thought you could. → Read More
Good news, gamers with taste. Rare announced today that the Xbox Live Arcade version of Banjo-Tooie, the 2000 sequel to 1998′s Banjo-Kazooie on the N64, will be released on Wednesday, April 29. That’s exactly two weeks from today. → Read More
Banjo-Tooie, the sequel to Banjo-Kazooie, will be released on Xbox Live Arcade this April. Like the BK XBLA port, BT’s graphics will be updated: 1080p and a smooth frame rate. I seem to recall BT having a pretty rough frame rate back on the N64, so this is more than merely a new coat of paint. → Read More
If you’re the one person in America who doesn’t own Halo, get thee to Xbox Live Arcade right now. The game is available there this week for 600 Microsoft point, or $7.50. → Read More
Major Nelson, the official mouthpiece of all things Xbox, has some numbers about the New Xbox Experience that might interest, like, 11 of you. There’s a tremendous amount of spin (“If LIVE were a U.S. city, it would be the largest city with over 14-million members. The equivalent of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago combined.” Only it’s not a city, so…) being done to the… → Read More
The game Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix is now available on Xbox Live Arcade (and PSN) for 1,200 Microsoft points. I bought it this morning and promptly realized two things: one, it’s tremendous and two, I’m rubbish at Street Fighter nowadays. I played about halfway through Arcade mode before finally giving up—like I said, rubbish—but that was enough to ensure that… → Read More
A cool 800 Microsoft points will get you all the womanizing, blue collar fun that is Duke Nukem 3D for the Xbox Live Arcade. The classic shooter’s graphics have been bumped up to high definition, and there’s an eight-player death match, conveniently named DukeMatch. Bad news for you folks in Germany and Korea: the games isn’t available to you. Mr. Nukem is too crude for your… → Read More
Flickr’d During Microsoft’s laser light show at E3 last week, the title Portal: Still Alive flashed across the screen, angering certain segments of PC gamers. “An sequel to our game, available only on the Xbox 360? Outrageous!” Only it’s not. The game, which will be released on Xbox Live Arcade, is only an amalgam of previously released material, fan-made or otherwise… → Read More
[photopress:nodnf.jpg,full,right] Forget whatever you heard about Duke Nukem Forever original story titlecoming out this year. 3D Realms president Scott Miller called the claim bogus and called the claim’s creators “lying bastards.” That’s refreshingly frank from a company president and fairly sloppy of the Dallas Morning News. The release date is still “when… → Read More
If you’re old enough to remember Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe and your hands haven’t been crippled with tendinitis then get ready because they’re both coming to XBLA on November 28th at 5:00AM EST. Each will be available for download for the low low price of 400 MS Points. → Read More
I love announcements for announcements’ sake. Microsoft said at Gamerfest that it will, somehow, someway, release Xbox Live Arcade for the PC in time for the holidays. It didn’t say how it plans to implement this feature into its nascent Live for PC offerings—what games will be available, will already purchased games be transferrable and/or playable on the PC, etc.—but we… → Read More
The lovable Pac-Man makes his Xbox Live Arcade debut today, reborn as Pac-Man Championship Edition. The game follows the same premise that everyone on planet Earth is familiar with, but adds a bunch of new mazes and several 21st century improvements like high def graphics and widescreen support. Microsoft teamed up with the game’s creator and had a blowout launch in New York yesterday where… → Read More
Tron is 25 years young and Disney Interactive Studios is doing the younglings of my generation a great service by re-releasing Tron and Discs of Tron for Xbox Live Arcade. Excuse me while I go and change my underpants because this is awesome news! I’ll finally be able to derezz Sark, hopefully. I couldn’t as a kid because I was, like, a year old at the time. I’ve been reliving the good ole… → Read More
Yeah, I totally met Pac-Man back in ’05. Fans of Inky, Blink, and miscellaneous bouncing fruit should clear their schedules from April 26th to May 9th. Microsoft just announced that a World Pac-Man Tournament will be held on Xbox Live Arcade. That’s right, you can win some prizes and show off your skills from the comfort of that used couch you found on Craigslist. Here are some of the… → Read More
According to GamersReports.com, a quick query on the ESRB website reveals that Quake III: Team Arena is listed as an Xbox 360 title. Most of us know that Q3TA was originally released years ago on the PC, so either this game is showing up a few years too late or it’ll be released as an Xbox Live Arcade title. We’re going to go with the latter. No release date is posted on the ESRB site… → Read More
