Now I'm actually interested in it. I wasn't going to pay $60 for BK, but now that it's an XBLA game, I'll check it out. XBLA is turning out to be a major asset to the 360.

They already previewed this title for XBLA, this is now news. Please report.

Well that's just fantastic...
Here they were catching all this hate from the other camps because the graphics weren't "Next Gen" or "Upgraded" from the original title.
Well, the fact that it's DLC and I can buy it from my couch pretty much cancels out any of the earlier complaints.
Definitely downloading.

...except the largest complaints I'd really heard were centered around wanting the devs to take their time, and actually work out all the glitches before shipping (like getting stuck in geometry, etc). I expect patching.

XBOX Live is at long last starting to get some decent games ... good ridance to the crappy 1980's retro bollox ...

Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.

I want Toby Gard’s Galleon. I have the game but no way to play it and I’m not going to buy an original Xbox again.

Gunstar751782d ago

Primal Rex1782d ago (Edited 1782d ago )

Bigman4k1782d ago

darthv721782d ago

Jakens1782d ago

Might get the chance when Scarlett comes out. I mean for all games Xbox 360 and Original Xbox. I can dream it happening.

Imortus_san1781d ago

When You Really Think About it, Katamari is Probably the Most Disturbing Game You'll Ever Play

It may look all happy and cutesy at a glance, but when you actually consider Katamari's gameplay, it's actually rather dark. Very dark, in fact.

It maybe disturbing but it's fun as hell and why the Ps4 doesn't have one yet or a Noby Noby Boy 2 is beyond me.

eddieistheillest2754d ago

Creator went to make a different game but I want one sooo bad.

Venoxn4g2753d ago

I want a proper katamari game for ps4 please

kimblejay2750d ago

Me too! Since writing this article I've had Katamari cravings so bad. Looks like I'll have to settle with Touch My Katamari on Vita for now. I'd even be happy with Backwards Compatibility for Beautiful Katamari on Xbox!

Venoxn4g2750d ago

Katamari forever on ps3 is good too.. psp one as well.. ps2 both games are awesome too
