"It’s very nice when I can just wander into a studio, have a sit down and play through an upcoming game without the terrified eyes of PR watchdogs making sure I’m ‘playing it right’.
This is what I was lucky enough to experience for local Aussie developer Halfbrick’s promising new Xbox Live Arcade game ‘Raskulls’, a studio that has recently been making some waves well beyond what their modest size would suggest.
If you’re shaking your head around trying to work out where you’ve heard that name before, it may be due to the enormous success of their iPhone / iPod Touch app ‘Fruit Ninja’ that has been gracing the Top 10 charts on iTunes since release."
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Nah they will be tho look at rscs3 they have psn made in there emulator why not xenia bro?
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
This game sounds very interesting actually.
Fruit Ninja certainly is simple fun, and if it's coming from the same studio then it could be good for non-gamers and gamers.
Wow we still have Aussie developers? I thought they were all dead now...
Been looking forward to this for forever. Good to hear the end is in sight...
What a great game, not really fussed about many of the XBLA titles, but this one has my interest up, might give it a whack when I get home.
Looks like an awesome party game to play with mates. Castle Crashers lite maybe?
Aw man, this is at the Mana Bar constantly, its EPIC!!!!
